And some on here are giving doseages to people which it is ok to question a doseage the vet gave you but in my opinion I do not believe people should give out doseages and the owner should be consulting with mfg, pharmacist and vet about that as that is the most dangerous of anything more so than giving out information in my opinion as giving info to take and consult with their vet is not harmful but a wrong doseage could kill a dog.
I'm not really comfortable with dosages either. I make an exception for Benadryl because I have Ellie's dose right in front of me and know approx. what dogs of her size should get. I also think when somebody comes on here at 3AM with a vaccine reaction and is an hour away from any vet that could help them, somebody needs to try to help. I may say if a dose looks right or not for other drugs. I try not to tive exact amounts. I won't even figure dosages for my own dog...
