can i give my dog levothyroxine prewscribed for humans
It is not recommended for a human to take levothyroxine prescribed for a dog as the dosages and formulations are different. Human medications should only be taken by humans and prescribed by a healthcare professional.
no way
By the way, I am over 200 pounds myself and take 100 mcg levothyroxine daily. To me, this seems like an awful lot for a 25 pound dog to take... Anybody know??
It's a type of medical care for puppies,and adualt dogs
Has this drug been prescribed for your dog by a veterinarian? If so, how did he tell you to use it? I would call the vet and ask for instructions on how to give it to your pet. If it was NOT prescribed by a vet, and is for human use for seizures, then DO NOT give it to your dog. Take your dog to a vet if it is having seizures.
yes
It is never a good idea to give your dog human medicine, or any medication that was not prescribed by a vet. Rather just take your dog to the vet so he/she can prescribe the proper medicine. Othwerwise, human medicine can kill your dog.
Yes. If prescribed by a VET.
It is not a good idea to give a dog any medication that is for humans. Dogs are genetically different and are not prescribed the same medications as a person would be. Benzonatate is not safe to give to a dog.
Many of the medications that people take are also prescribed for our pets, some of which are over-the-counter, and some are by vet prescription only. Antibiotics, antihistamines, analgesics (pain meds), antiemitics (anti-nausea meds), anti-diarrhea meds, sedatives, and insulin (for diabetes) are just a few of the meds that people take that are also prescribed for dogs, and other animals, as well. But always consult with your veterinarian before giving your dog any med that has not already been prescribed by a vet, whether over-the-counter, or not.

Yes, dogs can take metronidazole, and it is generally safe for them when prescribed by a veterinarian.
