While treatment duration depends on the type and severity of infection, it is recommended that extended baths in the medication continue for a minimum of 5 days and for not more than 10 days. Discontinued treatment if no improvement is noted within 5 days. Dogs and Cats: 10-30 mg/Kg (5-14 mg/lb) every 6-8 hours orally. Fish Flex is commonly given in off-label use to small animals.
