My dog has been diagnosed with lupus and prescribed Niacinimide and Doxycycline. I'm worried that the dose of Doxycyline is too high - 500 mg three times daily, since everything I've read online indicates a much lower dose. Is this too much?
Hello. I wonder if perhaps the labels were mixed up. Normally, Doxycycline would be prescribed at 5-10 mg/kg ( 136-272 mg ) every 12 - 24 hours & the niacinamide 500 mg every 8 hours. Now if your vet actually sent home tetracycline, then the dose would be 500 mg every 8 hours. But if the Doxycycline was substituted for the Tetracycline, then the total dose should be less. I would definitely double check this with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello, my old cat has had trouble breathing through her nose to the point she only has a tiny spot left open to breath through, right now she mostly breaths through her mouth. The pet doctor here thought it was an infection in the lungs and has gave
Hello. Make sure both doctors know that you are giving both medications. I would continue the Doxycycline & the prednisolone until you have spoken to at least one of the vets. It sounds like Doemoe needs either skull x-rays or an MRI to properly diagnose her nasal problem. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My 14 yr old black lab is undergoing heart worm treatment. He has been taking doxycycline and prednisone for 5 days. Early this morning he started vomitting and had diarrhea. He will drink water and has not vomitted for about 2 hours now. We hav
Both doxycycline and prednisone can cause vomiting and diarrhea. I am not sure of the dose that your dog is on but maybe your vet could adjust the dose so he has less gastrointestinal problems. Feeding the medication with a meal can sometimes help with the gastrointestinal side effects so make sure to give with food. Your vet could also prescribe an anti-vomiting medication, probiotic, and GI protectant which may help, too. At this point, If he is just going to vomit the medication than it doesn't make sense to give it. You should wait and see if your vet can prescribe additional medications to help with the vomiting and diarrhea. If the vomiting and diarrhea has stopped, you could try to give one medication at a time with food and see how he does.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, doxycycline is used to treat tick borne diseases. It seems as though the doxycycline is coated in a probiotic. I can't say I've seen this form in the US but it should be fine. Have a good day!

So my elderly dog takes Theo 24 ER 200 mg once daily for chronic bronchitis (she’s a retired sled dog from Nome Alaska) is there any problem with giving her the “human” version vs the vet office version? The cost difference is $300.00 per month vs 1
Hello. For the most part, veterinary drugs are equivalent to the human version of the same drug & visa versa. If your vet has no objections, he should readily write you a prescription so you can purchase the medication at any pharmacy you wish to use. Just for your information, the product you are displaying is a human medication & not specifically for dogs. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
