Cat Dosage

I am having a cat scan in the morning but I missed my overnight dosage. Would that affect the test in the morning if I take only one Metoprolol? ## No, missing one dose should not effect the results of you CT scan. You can inform them, just to be safe, but being that recent, it shouldn't change anything. Metoprolol is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, hypotension, and increased urination. Ref: Metoprolol Information Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the proposed dosage for Pulmison 20mg? ## What has your doctor advised and what condition is being treated with it?

My dog has an ear infection and I have some bactrim ds that I couldn't take. I was wondering if he could take this medicine and what dosage would I give him? He weighs 23-25 lbs. ## Hi Kat, When it comes to potent antibiotics such as Bactrim, I feel it is vital to contact an experienced veterinarian who can assess the dog's condition in person first and then make an appropriate medical decision based off their evaluation. Just to add, Bactrim is in fact prescribed to dogs and cats alike for various types of infections. My only concern is that Bactrim tends to cause a lot of side effects in humans, so I can only hope that your dog has a positive response to it. If you have a moment, please post back on how things are going with treatment. ## How much bactrim should I give my 60lb...

Hello everyone! I was just wandering if anybody else is sometimes off by the timing of taking their suboxone? My Dr. Told me 2 try and take it at the same time every day. But a lot of times I'm off by 2-4 hours. Reason being is, I'm up a lot of nights in pain ( sometimes, half the night.) and, I'll take it a little earlier, or, fall back 2 sleep, and take it a little later. I get u/a every time I go 2 Dr. And, I don't want it 2 effect my results. I do only take the amount I'm suppose 2. This just started happening recently. ## Hi Cats68, Being off a few hrs here and there shouldn,t effect your dose or u/a. Subs have an unbelievably long half life. My sub dr. told me that as far as pain is concerned subs only give relief for around 10hrs. Thats why he has me taking it...

is pethidine 50mg/1ml the same strength/dose as 100mg/2ml? ## Hello, Cat! How are you? No, it is half the dosage, you'd need to double it to be equivalent to the other dosage, but you should not take more than you doctor has prescribed. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I cut pill in half if needed? What body effects will I feel? ## Hello, Cat! How are you? As long as your doctor approves, you can cut or break any tablet that isn't time released, as long as the label doesn't specifically tell you not to do so. As to effects, it may cause some rebound effects, such as headaches, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, as reported by the FDA. Is there anything else I can help with?

80 lb dog = how much amoxicillin? ## I have 250mg Amoxicillin capsules, but my dog only needs 60mg. How would I handle this? Rocky weighs 6 1/2 lbs. I believe I calculated the dose correctly. ## Can the Amoxicillin 400 mg (bmp 196) green tablets be crushed and mixed with food to give to my dog? ## How much amoxicillin tr k clv 500/125 is safe for an 8lb dog? She has skin irritation after her cycle. ## Hello, According to the NIH "The recommended dose of amoxicillin in dogs and cats is 5-10mg/pound" so a dog who is 80 lbs should have 400-800 mg. Since this is such a wide gap I suggest you call into your vet office and see what they suggest, typically if they have your animal on file they will have a good estimate of what they should have. Best wishes and happy holidays.

How many 8mg/2mg suboxone does a person take in a day? ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? You should always follow your doctor's dosing instructions. The right amount can vary from person to person, depending on the drug they were abusing and how much of it they were taking. The highest recommended dosage is 32/8mgs daily. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

need to know if this substance causes optical flashes and headaches and also causes issues with ones vision. As my ex-husband has been breaking into my home and using a drug on me and it is very scary. ## I would suggest calling the police for your own safety and protection. And if the drug you are referring to is Ketamine, it is a very strong, disassociative anesthetic, used in both people and animals. Very potent stuff and yes, it can mess with your eyesight and cause amnesia as well. ## Would like information on a catamine coma ## Discuss ketamine coma ## Is Catamine prescribed for extreme clinical depression? What dosage? Are there clinical trial results? ## I saw this word in a historical novel about Ancient Rome

Opites make my BP drop 80/50. I am on Fentanyl Patch 25mcg and feel very dizzy & sleepy. Think my BP is dropping dangerously, i have had lots of fluids & hung upside down off the bed. I am very sweaty. Think i need to up my dose of Prednisone but dont know by how much. Can u pls help me. ## Hello, Cathy! How are feeling? Those could also be just side effects from the Fentanyl patch, which might be why the extra fluids didn't help. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Do you have a blood pressure monitor to check with, when this happens? ## Dear Verwon, thank you for your help. I think you are right that it is the Fentanyl. I will invest in a Blo...

Have 18 lb. male cat had tooth removed developed infection what would be the proper dosage of Amoxicilian ## Hello, Charlie! How is he doing? It depends on both his weight and the severity of the infection. The dosing ranges from 5 to 12mg per pound of body weight, two or three times a day. Have you tried asking your veterinarian? Your cat may experience side effects similar to those a human would, such as nausea, drowsiness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

My 8.5lb cat had 4 surgeries; 1)cystotomy, 2)pu, 3)feeding tube x2. He is finally home. If anything will go wrong everything has gone wrong with this poor cat. Now he strains to urinate and was urinating blood last night. Vet seemed to think it was a blood clot, I concur, I saw one now no more blood this a.m. Fir his straining he was prescribed butorphanol 10mg/ml. Label reads: 1cc butorphanol in 10cc lixotinic as flavor agent, give o.25-0.4cc by mouth 1-4 times daily as needed for urinary straining. At 12:30pm today, first dosage i gave him 1.0 ml, I overdosed him according to instructions. I have only had 4 hours of total sleep in 48 hours because of his situation. He has not presented with any major symptoms. He has eaten on his own, urinates better, he dies stare out the oucture window

small purplepill that is square and rounded ## Hi jerry, Are there no markings on this pill? I don't think this pill was manufactured in the U.S., as it has no letter or number imprints. U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have a unique imprint on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage. (That said, if you did find it here in the U.S.; it could be a party drug or may just be a diet or supplement pill of some sort, but there really is no way to look that up without imprints or knowing what company you got it from). If you're able to, I would consider taking the pill over to your local pharmacy and having it analyzed by their team to see if they can come up with anything. And as a last resort, you could ask them a...

Can you give human Amox tr cla to cats with inflammation gums. ## Hi Katlady, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate potassium (Amox TR-K CLV) is a prescription antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. And yes it is something that may be prescribed by veterinarians to cats/dogs alike in respective dosages. However, according to Dr. Foster and Smith Pharmacy, the human form of this medication reportedly contains more Clavulanate than the veterinary form. Taking that into account, I think it'd probably be best to let a vet determine how much is safe via an in person evaluation. Hope your cat is doing well since you last posted!

I have inflammation in my back and was taking a pill called Cataflam 50mg but it does not work and still hurts. Can I take a cti 103 (Diclofenac Sodium 75mg) pill instead? Is Cataflam 50mg weaker than Diclofenac Sodium 75mg? ## Hi Evenlyn, Sorry to hear about your back condition. I hope you feel better soon! To answer your question, in short, yes, 50mg is weaker than 75mg. Cataflam is simply another brand name of Diclofenac; so it's pretty much the exact same thing at a different dosage, albeit the suffix is potassium with Cataflam instead of sodium as with the common/standard Diclofenac (& I'm not certain as to whether either mineral makes any notable difference in bioavailability/potency). As to whether or not you can take 75mg instead of 50mg, that's entirely up to yo...

A vet in Mexico told us that Trimetoprima Sulfametoxazol can be used in place of Albon to get rid of Coccidia in Cats. Is this true and what would the dosage be? ## I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on this, out information pertains to the use of medication in humans, not animals. Have you tried asking your regular veterinarian? Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic, so it is not completely the same as the Albon, so I would suggest getting a second opinion to make sure you are getting proper treatment for your pet.

My cat started hiding and howling when I picked her up. So took her to vet Friday. Vet couldn't find anything wrong and prescribed Amoxidrops for a puncture we couldn't see yet. Today, Saturday I found the puncture in her left hind quarter. I put Ichthammol ointment hoping it will start draining. Can I give her a drop of my hydromet syrup 5-1 5/5 for the pain or my husband's phenergan/codeine syrup until we return to the vet on Monday? ## I have a 2 year old cat that has a bacterial infection. If I dilute the "teva 3147" capsule with water and give him the right amount of dosage, is it safe?

Most medications usually reach their effectiveness around 4 to 6 weeks of use, so if you have been taking them for that long and are still getting high readings, you may need a dosage adjustment or you might have to try something else. While they have all been proven effective, there is no way to say whether or not any given medication is going to be effective for any given person that tries it. They can all effect everyone diff...
