The product can be administered by slow intravenous or subcutaneous administration.
Not more than 10 ml should be administered at the one subcutaneous injection site.

2.5 mg enrofloxacin per kg bodyweight (corresponding to 0.5 ml/10 kg bw) once daily by intramuscular injection for 3 days.
Alimentary tract infection or septicaemia caused by Escherichia coli: 5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/10 kg bw, once daily by intramuscular injection for 3 days.
In pigs, the injection should be made in the neck at the ear base.
Not more than 3 ml should be administered at one intramuscular injection site.
Dogs and Cats:
5mg of enrofloxacin per kg bodyweight (corresponding to 1 ml/10 kg bw) daily by subcutaneous injection for up to 5 days.
