Amoxicillin is needed to treat bacterial infections. It is a penicillin type and stops the bacterial growth.Unnecessary use can lead to a decrease in effectiveness.The cat should have at least 1 ml of Amoxicillin per dosage twice a day for 7 days as we divide the desired amount to the available dosage.
