I have been prescribed zithromax for my guinea pig with a head tilt. I have the 200mg/5ml suspension. It says on the bottle to add 9mls of water to the suspension, and I have been instructed to give 0.7mls of the completely prepared solution. Does this sound right to you guys?

Hi! How much does your piggy weigh?
If I remember correctly, you give 0.1 ml per 100g of body weight.

He weights just over 800gs so should be just underdosing, but i think I'll stick with the 0.7 tonight just to see how he takes to it. He's had 0.2mls panacur too, and some probiotics of course. Do I need to repeat the panacur daily or is that a one time dose? The vets advised doing it daisy for about 28days but I'm unsure as I've ready differently.
