We were just worried about the phenabarbitol not getting in his system good and wanting to do a loading dose . Thanks guys |
Do not increase the pheno dose unless this really was a specific order from your vet. Don't guess about "loading doses." Discuss this with your vet. No one here can safely advise you on the use of this medication.
