Dose list.

[Silvercore Cats]

Common medications and their cat doses. We're not vets, but we always double check the doses given to us by the vet. This is a working list, and more will be added later. Another post will be made discussing the actual use of these medications.
Discuss any concerns with your vet and don't use this as medical advice!
