My dog is just over 11 lbs and the vet prescribed 125mg (1/4 of a 500mg tablet) of Robaxin three times a day for a possible slipped disk. But I would check with your dog's vet just to be sure.

Do not give a dog robitussin. It could kill the dog. If he has a cough ask a vet what to do about the situation, animals have special medicine. They are sensitive to most human medicines. Dogs can take beano for gas and pepto bismol for stomach problems.

What dose of tramadol can you give a 140 pound dog?

You can give it 150 mg every 8 - 12 hours. If this dosage does not seem to alleviate the dog's pain, call your vet to see if you can increase the dosage. If your vet is not available (weekends, evenings) you can call your nearest emergency or after hours clinic and ask them. Most of them will answer your questions about things like this with out charging you a fee.

What is the Prednisone dosage for 113 pound dog with high grade lymphoma?

I don't know if the dosage varies for high grade lymphoma, nor do I know which form of Prednisone you are referring to, so I will give you the general dosage of 'regular' Prednisone, instead of a compound steroid. According to my book, which is a comprehensive guide for drug usage in dogs and cats, the dosage for a 113 pound dog is .5-1 mg/kg PO q 12h. Translation: 1/2 to 1 milligram per killogram of body weight by mouth every 12 hours. Your dog weighs 113 pounds, which is 51.25 killigrams, so the dosage of this med would be 25 to 51 milligrams every 12 hours. Keep in mind, though, that the dosage varies for many illnesses, so please, consult with your vet before giving your dog this medication. Usually, when a dog (as well as people) take this med, it has to be gradually decreased, and not just discontinued, even after taking it for just a short while. Also, keep in mind, the dosage I gave you is only a general guideline for this particular med. You can probably call your local emergency animal clinic for free, and they can answer your question much better. This would certainly be much safer for your dog. I can't stress enough the importance of asking a professional before taking the advice of a non-professional. While I do have some knowledge in medicine, I am not a professional, so I strongly advise you to check with one.

Dog Benadryl dose?

The standard benadryl (diphenhydramine) dose for a dog is 1 milligram (1mg) per pound every 8-12 hours. For example a 25 pound dog could get 25mg of benadryl two to three times per day. This can cause drowsiness. if your dog is too sleepy after dosing you can give 1/2 a dose. I am not a veterinarian and I recommend that you never give any medication (even over the counter medication like benadryl) without first consulting a veterinarian.


How much adult capsules do you give a 14 pound dog benedrayl?

A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)


How much Bufferin can you give a dog?

How much Benadryl can you give a pug?

The dose for a Pomeranian adult dog is 1mg per pound. Hide it in a treat such as a Pupperony or her/his favorite treat. Effects should take place within 30 minutes. Feed only in true pill form. liquid gel caps and liquid/kids Bennadryl has alcohol and sugars that are harmful to your dog. Bennadryl usually comes in 25 mg tablets so this would be ideal for a 25 pound dog. 12 mg for a 12 pound dog (half a pill) etc.
