what is the correct cephalexin dosage for a 34 LB dog and how many times a day.Is it 250mg twice a day?
It depends upon what exactly you are giving - it would be way too much prednisone, but possibly not enough cephalexin depending upon the infection.
1cc per 7 pounds of dog.
6 to 9 pounds
it is an overdose, it can give your dog an infection internaly, dont do it
one milligram per pound.
Ask a vet before you do anything!!
check this out with your vet. if the dog needs it then the vet will prescribe and give correct dosage
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!)
1 mg per 2 lbs of weight
My dog was spade on Wednesday and she is now showing signs of pain or infection. i had some cephalexin from a previous vet visit. Since there is no vet office opened until tomorrow, is it safe to give her the antibiotic? I am afraid if I wait the infection will be worse. It is 250mg. two times a day.
3 to 5 mg per pound. That would be 120mg to 200mg.
This question should be asked of your veterinarian - you can probably call over to the clinic and ask rather than make an appointment. Unfortunately, trying to get human formulations of diphenhydramine (the drug in Benadryl) into a small enough dosage to be safe for a six pound dog is very difficult.
