The calculation is this: for 1 kilogram of body weight of the pet is 12.5 mg of the drug. Depending on how difficult the disease is, the cure rate can be 5-7 days, during which the drug should enter the animal's body twice a day. If the disease is weakly treatable, which is especially characteristic of pathological processes in the respiratory system, it is allowed to increase the dosage twice, approximately to 25 mg per 1 kg of body weight.
