Ondansetron Dosage By Weight
Ondansetron is available as 4mg, 8mg and 24mg tablets. It also comes as an oral solution in a concentration of 4mg/5ml and even in injectable form. The dosage of ondansetron for cats and dogs can vary on the basis of the reason for the prescription. The administration duration also varies depending on the condition to be treated, the response and any side effects noted.

The recommended dosage of ondansetron is generally in the range of 0.05 to 0.5mg per pound of the body weight of the pet every 12 to 24 hours for dogs. For cats, the general recommended dose is 0.11 mg per pound of the body weight every 8 to 12 hours. It is advisable to consult the veterinarian before giving ondansetron to pets to avoid any risks of adverse effects or overdosing.

I typically give ½ of 4mg tablet to 8-10lb cat.

I give a 2 mg dose to an 8 lb cat which is what my vet suggested. My reference for dosing is in here: (2016) ISFM Consensus Guidelines: Diagnosis & Management of Feline Chronic Kidney Disease. The table on top of page 232 lists dose as 0.5-1.0 mg/kg, given 3-4 times a day.

Okay. I gave her half a tablet. I usually give her 1/4. It made no difference. I just gave her some Mirataz.

Just to be clear.....this is for my civvie, Mouse. Kahlua is fine.
