Convenia is generally dosed based on a cat's weight, typically at 8 mg/kg (3.6 mg/lb). For a cat that weighs around 9 pounds, a veterinarian would calculate the dose accordingly to ensure it's both safe and effective for the specific infection being treated. It's important to have your vet administer this medication, as they have the precise tools and knowledge to calculate and deliver the appropriate dose.
