Can Clindamycin be used for male cats bladder infection and how many milligrams for a 20 pound cat?
I have a 7 year old male cat. He has a bladder infection, is Clindamycin the drug of treatment for him. He weighs approximately 20 pounds. How many milligrams would i give him if this is the correct medication?

you need to take the cat to a vet and have them tell you if it is a bladder infection and have him give you a prescription in the correct amount for the cat. If you just give your cat medication for a sickness and are unsure of the real illness you could make him sicker.

Cat's metabolism and central nervous system is so dramatically different from humans and canine that getting advice from a non-veternarian is asking for a very sick or dead cat.
Besides, the vet will probably prescribe a different antibiotic, and if your smart, you will ask for the liquid form. (Dropper into the side of the mouth, which forces the jaws open, and squirt! Viola, you still have your skin!)
I know vet bills suck, but let the vet treat your cat.

If you are self diagnosing him and self medicating - DON'T. Make a vet appointment and have the problem taken care of correctly.

It is most commonly used for abcesses and dental infections.
If your cat has a bladder infection, see a VET. Male cats can become blocked easily, so treat NOW.

April 16th, 2009 at 9:39 pmHi there…Clindamycin is generally used for other types of infections such as dental disorders or abscesses. Amoxicillin , Baytril, Clavamox, et c are generally the antiobiotics prescribed for lower urinary disorders, however it depends on the type of lower urinary disorder as there are many things that causes the infections and should be evaluated before receiving antibiotics. Self medicating cats when their health is already compromised can also be very lethal so please consider having your cat evaluated by a veterinarian. Call around to ask who offer low fee veterinary care as some clinics do receive charitible funding from local feline rescue groups.
Lower urinary disorders can become life-threatening if not treated within 24-48 hours as some cats require surgery to remove the urethral obstruction.
