What is the most important information I should know about Zeniquin?

Zeniquin is a prescription medication FDA-approved for veterinary use in dogs and cats. Zeniquin is available as 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg film-coated scored tablets. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. Do not give Zeniquin to any pet other than the pet for whom it was prescribed. Zeniquin is not for use in pets allergic to it or other fluoroquinolone antibiotic drugs. Zeniquin should not be used in cats younger than 12 months of age, or dogs during their rapid growth phase which can vary from 8 to 18 months based on the breed. Zeniquin may affect the retina of cats.

What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving Zeniquin to my pet?

Tell your veterinarian if your pet has seizures or other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, or if your pet is breeding, pregnant, or lactating.

How should Zeniquin be given?

Give Zeniquin exactly as directed by your veterinarian. Give all of the medication your veterinarian has prescribed. Symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated. The usual dose of Zeniquin for dogs and cats is 1.25 mg per pound given once a day, but the dosage may be increased to 2.5 mg per pound. For the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, Zeniquin tablets should be given for 2-3 days beyond the cessation of clinical signs for a maximum of 30 days. For the treatment of urinary tract infections, Zeniquin tablets should be administered for at least 10 days. If no improvement is noted within 5 days, the diagnosis should be re-evaluated and a different course of therapy considered. If you do not understand the directions, ask your pharmacist or veterinarian to explain them to you.

What are the potential side effects of Zeniquin?

Stop giving the medication and seek emergency veterinary medical attention if your pet experiences an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; or hives). Other less serious side effects may also occur. Continue to give the medication and talk to your veterinarian if your pet experiences loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, or drowsiness. Side effects other than those listed may occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to your pet.

What happens if I miss giving a dose of Zeniquin?

Give the missed dose of Zeniquin as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the dose missed and give only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not give a double dose of the medication.

What happens if I overdose my pet on Zeniquin?

Seek emergency veterinary medical treatment. Symptoms of overdose may include loss of appetite, vomiting, dehydration, excessive salivation, tremors, reddened skin, or facial swelling.

What should I avoid while giving Zeniquin to my pet?

Do not give Zeniquin to pets allergic to it or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Do not give Zeniquin within 2 hours of administering Carafate (sucralfate), or other antacids or foods and supplements containing iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.

What other drugs will affect Zeniquin?

Drugs other than those listed may also interact with Zeniquin. Talk to your veterinarian or pharmacist before giving any other prescription or over-the-counter medications.

Breed Domestic shorthair
As described & fast shipping
My 9yr old cat was diagnosed with vestibular dysfunction at an ER vet and after he wasn’t recovering on his own they started him on Zeniquin. My regular vet doesn’t carry the mg he needed so we had to look elsewhere & I found it on PetMeds. This medicine seems to have done wonders for him he’s able to walk without falling, has his balance back, and somehow has more energy than even before his episode. Hoping this is the last month he’ll need the medication but if not then I’m happy to know I can get it through PetMed easily!

Great Transaction
Needed addl. meds for my cocker's ear infection, but the cost at the vet was double. First time using 800petmeds. Even with paying for overnight delivery, and using a coupon, I saved at least $10. And meds worked great. No side effects. Will use 800petmeds in the future.

We have 4 dogs...right now two of them are battling with a skin infection that only responds to this medication. Well it's working great on one..the other one where the infection started on is taking time..but Doctor said they could be on it for over 20 days.,,Hoping not the case, but they are my babies and if it's what's needed than that's what we will do.

Breed Manx
Constipated Kitty, but fixed the problem
This medication worked great for my kitty's urinary issues, the only problem was the side effect of dehydration. If your pet is prone to constipation (or has manx syndrome like my baby does) i do not recommend prolonged use of the meds. Use it until the infection clears, but as a preventative medicine it can cause major constipation.

Breed Australian Shepherd
The only med that has helped.
About a year ago, our Australian Shepherd developed a skin infection on her stomach that looked like large ringworms. The circles were crusty and had an odor. They soon spread to her back, taking some hair with the lesions. After numerous tries with other meds, the vet did a comprehensive blood test ($604) to determine what the problem was--a mersa-type infection that is not contagious to humans. It took a month's worth of meds ($246-includes a 10% discount) to clear it up. Two months ago, she broke out with the same thing. A new vet tried another med, even though I told him Zeniquin worked. We wasted a month before he prescribed Zeniquin--Rosie is on the way to recovery. This med is very expensive, even from PetMeds, but is the only thing that works.

Lizzy loved Zeniquin and so did I. The stubborn temps that had hovered on the high side for almost a week fell back and stayed within the normal range after two dosages. With fever checked, she began to eat and drink and soon regained her vim and vigar.
