Hello. I am not sure what your researching but 500mg of Metformin is a normal dose for a human so I don't think it would be a good idea to give to a mouse. It would cause severe hypoglycemia and severe lactic acidosis. If your intention is for the mouse to live then I don't think it is a good idea. Maybe using a lower dose would be appropriate?

I think the most reliable source to answer this question would be Merial who manufactures this medication. Call 1-888-MERIAL1, option 2, option 4. This will prioritize and transfer your message to the appropriate party.

If you are sure the horse will eat all of the feed with the paste, you can add it. However it would be better to directly give the paste into the mouth as it is a very expensive medication and your horse needs the full dose appropriate for its weight. Giving the paste directly into the mouth, then holding the mouth shut for a few seconds will ensure the paste is swallowed. If you are not sure how it is done, ask some of the barn mates to help you dose your horse.

Signs could include vomiting, lethargy, and/or hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can be an emergency, and may present as shakiness, lethargy, listlessness, lack of coordination, confusion , lack of consciousness, seizures, and can even be fatal. I recommend you contact your vet immediately to have Charlie seen, and contact the pet poison helpline at the link below and let them know what happened. Give them Charlie's weight as well so they can help calculate if there may be a possible toxicity based on the amount of medication he ingested. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/

Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. Ketamine is a sedative, used primarily in horses & small animals for anesthesia. I know the rules about controlled drugs are pretty lax in SA, so all you can do is ask. If you develop any type of relationship with a veterinarian in your area, they are more apt to help someone out than a complete stranger. Laws about controlled drugs are changing rapidly in the region.
