Hello,
Optional Information: Type of Animal: Kitten Gender: Male Age: 10 weeks old
Welcome to JustAnswer! I am a licensed veterinarian and would be glad to help!In order to confirm your dose, we need the concentration - once mixed with water, how many mg/ml (milligrams per milliliter)-
Thanks for your help!It is Sandoz Azithromycin 300mg, and reads 100mg/5ml on the box. Does this help?
Yes - At 100mg/5ml, otherwise 20mg/1ml - at your kittens weight of 1.2kg, the correct dose should then have been 0.6ml once per day. I hope this information is helpful. _____________________________________________________________________Please click "ACCEPT" if the information I have provided has been of help so I receive credit for my work.

I'm hoping you could answer one more question for me... The kitten is with his 2 brothers and 2 sisters, only one other of which I heard sneeze a couple of times. My vet gave me some extra just in case (since he will be away) but I forgot to ask if I should treat them all since I cannot separate them at the moment. Would you recommend I just treat the obvious sick one? Or should I treat them all since I heard one other seeming like she's in early stages? I don't want to end up with 5 sick kittens. I am currently fostering other litters (crazy time of year) so I have no space to put him somewhere else until another foster home opens up.Thanks so much!
Since this is most likely viral, not bacterial - I would not treat them all unless needed as we dont want to cause stomach upset or other illness treating if we do not have to. I hope this information is helpful. _____________________________________________________________________Please click "ACCEPT" if the information I have provided has been of help so I receive credit for my work.

Thanks!This started with sneezing and the clear eye/nose fluids didn't start until day 3, so should I listen for lots of sneezing and then start if need be? I'm getting paranoid every time I hear someone sneeze now!By the way, he was treated for 5 days with Clavaseptin which didn't do anything for him.
Yes - this is likely viral URI.Good luck.
