Owning a pet is quite a responsibility. Your pet’s health and happiness depends on you. Here are some things to keep in mind about pet medicine.
1. When your veterinarian prescribes a medication for your sick pet, give the medicine to the animal exactly the way you are instructed. Do not give a higher or lower dose than what is recommended. And if you miss a dose, do not double up on the next dose unless you have checked it out with your vet first.
2. Pills and capsules can be given to your pet wrapped in some type of food. A little bit of peanut butter is a good way of getting your pet to take his medication. There are also special treats on the market specifically made to hold a pill or capsule. These treats allow you to give medication to your pet very easily.
3. With any medication, check with your vet to be certain that it will not interact with anything your pet might currently be taking. Also check on how the medication is to be given, such as with food, on an empty stomach, or spaced a certain number of hours apart.
4. If your pet’s doctor tells you to finish a medication, do just that. Do not stop the medication early just because your pet seems well and you feel that he no longer needs to take it. That is not a decision for you to make on your own. Your vet prescribed a certain amount of medication, and that is exactly what the animal should be getting.
5. If you have medication left over from a previous illness and your veterinarian prescribes the same medication for something current, do not give your pet the old medication to save money. Medication has an expiration date and you do not know if old medication will be effective. It could end up doing more harm than good. Your pet’s health is not worth saving a few dollars on medication.
Because you are a loving pet owner, you know to be as careful with your pet’s medication as you would be with your own.
