Rupert & Tia
Mama Doe
I picked rupert up from his dental last night at 6, he was unsteady on his feet, but ate pellets and did a few poops, he's eating pellets and small amonts of hay today and has done 100 poops since 5pm tonight, so he's feeling a little better...
My question is... on thursday i was given metacam for him (dog - 1.5 mg/ml) and was told to give him 0.3ml once a day.
Yesterday I was told to give him 13 drops every 6 hours - but reading around, the dosage is every 12 hours! :shock: im abit worried that im overdosing him!
Please someone help. the vet is closed now.
is emperid the same as metoclopramide??
I was given metoclop at emergency vet (dosage 0.4ml) but then given emperid 1.1 ml to give him...... can't get him to take emperid so just been giving him metoclop, can i give him more than 0.4? i phoned vet this morning but they said 'oh, i would stick with 0.4' dont think i was speaking to a vet..
i may be over tired so over worrying, but someone tell me metacam is ok 6 hourly?! gave him his last dose (13 drops) at 4pm tonight.
