Dog Lisinopril

My 50 lb dog ate Lisinopril tablet. Will it hurt her? ## I'm sorry, but I don't know what most human medications will do to animals. Many human medications are also used in dogs and since Lisinopril is used to help lower blood pressure, it could have an effect on hers and may make her ill. Have you contacted a vet? You should definitely watch for signs of problems, such as lethargy and vomiting. ## My dog about 80 pounds got my bottle of lisinopr/hydrochloride hiazide tab 20-25mg. Not sure how many he ate but by counting I think it was about 3. ## Useless site...Severe lack of info...should not waste time in emergent situation to get any help with this particular problem.

My one year old Cairn Terrier swallowed 10mg of Lisinopril. Is this toxic? What should I do? T I have answered the word verification correctly several times now. ## Lisinopril is used in canines for the same conditions it treats in humans, hypertension, heart failure and other cardiac issues and the 10mg dosage is commonly used in dogs. Learn more Lisinopril details here. However, I am not familiar with the dosage for certain breeds/sizes of dogs, so I can only suggest you consult your veterinarian. Are there any other questions or comments?

is lisinopril safe for dog use an what is doseage per dogs weight? ## Hi sara, Lisinopril is not FDA approved for use in veterinary medicine, however it is still being used for veterinary purposes. From what I've read, it has become an accepted practice for veterinarians to prescribe this medication to cats and dogs. It is prescribed for the treatment of heart failure, high blood pressure, certain types of heart valve disease and some forms of kidney disease. Lisinopril does require a prescription from your veterinarian, and is sold per tablet. I would speak with your veterinarian in regards to the dosage, since only he/she will know the correct amount for your dog based on his/her weight and medical history. I hope this helps!

10 pound dog ate 20MG Lisinopril tablet. what will happen ## Have you contacted your veterinarian? I am sorry, but our website and any knowledge of my own is geared to the use of medications and their effects on humans, we really don't have much information on their use in canines. This is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so it could affect his heart rate and etc. Did you contact your vet?

Small 5-10 lb Chihuahua may have invested up to 30 - 20 mg Lisinopril. Need to know what to do? Dog is randomly yelping + tremoring ## Hello, Tina! How is your pup doing? You should take your chihuahua to a veterinarian, as soon as possible. There's a risk of liver damage, or possibly death, if it causes his blood pressure and heart rate to drop too low. This medication can safely be used in dogs, but the dosage it usually different, as well as the dosing duration. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started Norvasc, 5 mg, on 12/29. I was switched from Lisinopril, because I was experiencing angioedema, a common side effect with Lisinopril. I've been on it for a few weeks and I am beginning to wonder if this drug is causing the scary side effects I've been experiencing. Yesterday my husband rushed me to the ER, because I suddenly couldn't remember how to put a leash on a dog, or do the most simple task like open the door. As he began to drive to the hospital my heart started pounding furiously and I seriously thought I might die. The ER told me it was a panic attack and sent me home with Ativan. Then this afternoon I awoke from a nap with my heart pounding furiously. It was pounding so hard that it was echoing in my head and I got very flushed. I called my doctor and sp...

Terrible angina on minor exertion. Legs need cat scan for vascular blockage. Isosorbide 30mg helps angina for 12-15 hours then I might need a small nitro tablet. Also the isosorbide has made my blood pressure perfect. This after a four year battle just taking 25 mg metropolol twice a day a 50 mg of losartan once. My question, do I need to take the losartan and metropolol anymore? I also take plavix. You should know that my problems started four years ago when a drugstore BP machine indicated my BP was high. My doctor at the time prescribed hydrochlorothorazide and lisinopril. four days later I was in the emergency room with fried kidneys. In summary, the two aforementioned drugs, and amlodipine, clonidine damn near killed me. I wouldn’t give them to a dog. After two years of this,...
