Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).

Unfortunately, we are not permitted to give out drug dosages without a veterinarian - client - pet relationship. If you are seeking this information, I would obtain it through a veterinarian in person or through a veterinary formulary such as Plumb's or Merck. Hope this makes sense.

My dog seems dehydrated. Her CRT is more than 2 seconds. She has low energy and doesn’t want to walk much. I’ve given her pedialyte. What might this be?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. There are many causes of dehydration and given her symptoms, I would recommend having her blood tested to rule out kidney disease or any other systemic diseases / infections. She will likely need a course of subcutaneous fluids, which is when fluid is administered under the skin and absorbed by the body. This is an effective way to hydrate an animal and is well tolerated. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns that you may have.

My dog is on lasix for fluid around his heart. Is there any electrolyte replacement beverage formulated specifically for dogs? I am not interested in the i.v. bags.
I am not familiar with an oral electrolyte replacement. Usually dogs who are eating and drinking well don't have electrolyte abnormalities, so I would make sure he has a diagnosed electrolyte abnormality before trying to supplement. If your vet has recommended fluids under the skin, that would indicate that Bubbles is actually dehydrated as well. Dehydration and heart disease are a hard pair of issues to balance because the treatment for the heart disease involves causing some dehydration with lasix. Since it sounds like something a bit complicated is going on with Bubbles, I'd recommend sharing your treatment concerns with his primary care veterinarian or cardiologist so they can help you make a safe and effective plan. Wishing you the best of luck.

My dog had osteosarcoma. He had half of his lower jaw removed and now he has a massive drooping problem. He drinks a ton of water. He's been cancer free for 2 years. I used to take him running but I'm worries now with working out he will drink too mu
Hello. You can give him some pedialyte to help boost his electrolytes occasionally, but as far as exercise, if he wants to go running and isn't sore, he will be able to drink enough to hydrate without loss of electrolytes. Since dogs eat balanced diets, they typically don't need electrolyte supplements, but pedialyte won't hurt after exercise. I hope that helps! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
