what is the amount that should be ordered for large dogs 90 lbs or more I was just told that this was the right med can you please tell me I need 30 days worth thanks?

Ally, This question is complicated because it deals with multiple dosage forms and different dosing for different infections. The dosing for doxycyline differs by what bacteria is causing the infection, and where the infection is located. Doxycycline also comes in different strengths, and we carry tablets or capsules (50 and 100 mg capsules, and 100 mg tablets). The best recommendation would be to contact the veterinarian who is prescribing the medication, and see what strength he or she would like your dog to have, and if the veterinarian is prescribing the 100mg strength, there is the decision between the tablets or capsules. The veterinarian will know best what to recommend based on the type and location of the infection. Thank you, VetRxDirect
