What is Zeniquin 25 mg Used for in Cats?

Zeniquin 25mg is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This means it is effective against a wide range of bacteria. In cats, it is most often used to treat:

• Skin and soft tissue infections: This includes wounds, abscesses, and superficial pyodermas (bacterial skin infections).
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs): It’s effective against many bacteria that cause bladder and kidney infections.
• Respiratory infections: It may be used for certain respiratory issues, especially when other antibiotics have been ineffective.
• Other bacterial infections: Zeniquin 25mg can be used for other infections, including some that have become resistant to other antibiotics.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage for Zeniquin 25mg in cats is approximately 1.25 mg per pound (2.75 mg/kg) of body weight, administered once daily. Your veterinarian will determine the exact dosage and duration of treatment based on your cat’s specific condition, weight, and overall health.

• The tablets are often scored, making them easier to break and dose accurately.
• It can be given with or without food, but if your cat experiences an upset stomach when given on an empty stomach, you can try giving it with a small meal.
• Do not give Zeniquin 25mg with dairy products or anything containing calcium, iron, or aluminum, as these can interfere with the drug’s absorption.

Potential Side Effects

While Zeniquin 25mg is generally well-tolerated, some cats may experience side effects. It’s important to monitor your cat and contact your vet if any of these occur.

Common side effects:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite

Serious but rare side effects:

• Retinal degeneration and blindness: While rare, there have been reports of Zeniquin 25mg adversely affecting the retina of cats, especially at higher doses. It’s crucial to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
• Central Nervous System (CNS) effects: In rare cases, especially in cats with pre-existing CNS disorders, fluoroquinolones can cause neurological issues, including seizures.
• Cartilage damage: Zeniquin 25mg is generally not recommended for cats younger than 12 months of age because it can cause damage to the cartilage in their joints while they are still growing.

• Not for Human Use: This is a veterinary medication and should not be taken by humans.
• Allergies: Do not use Zeniquin if your cat has a known allergy to marbofloxacin or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
