Please do not self medicate your kitty, cipro may be the wrong med for one thing, the med has to match the right stain of bacteria, so you can kill your kitty by overdosing too much or at the very least make infection worse by administering the wrong med.
Please do not try to guess!!!! Your kitty weighs at least 1/10-1/15 th of your weight meds intended for you cannot be cut down that far!!
