Just a quick question,
I currently have a 7 yr old Insul/Lympho guy with an upper respiratory infection prescribed Orbax.
He's dosing at 5.7 mg/2x daily (weighs 1kg(2.28lbs))
and although I'm sure the Vet knows better than me ..
(yes ok, I have overbearing mother syndrome ..)
It seems like a high dose to me, and I was wondering if anyone else had used this med. recently.
Just want to be absolutely sure.
It seems to be causing some stomach discomfort as well ..
any thoughts.
