I have an 18 lb Dixie who takes vetmedin, enalapril and thyrozine. He is limping today and I have some methocarbamol I would like to give him but I don't think he's taken since he started the heart meds so I don't know if I can give them together.
Hi there. There are no reported contraindications to using methocarbamol with vetmedin, enalapril, or thyroxine. They should all be fine when used together. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Can I give my dog Methocarbamol, Noxox, and Tramadol at the same time? I believe that she is having an IVDD episode and we do not have an ER vet available until tomorrow.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Normally, it is safe to administer these medications together. However, I do not recommend that you administer any medications if they have not been prescribed by a veterinarian as some of these medications can cause side effects and pre-screening bloodwork should be performed. Good luck and have a good night!

My dog was given 50mg of methocarbamol and he took his first this morning at 8am. He cannot function. He is only laying down, sleeping mostly and even has diarrhea in his sleep. Is this normal because I'm worried and it's been 11 hours since he took
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. 500mg is a pretty high dose of Methocarbamol for a 10 pound dog. At the very high end of the "normal" dosing range the dose would be 200mg. That being said, luckily the drug is very safe even at high doses. He probably just needs to sleep it off. DO NOT give him any more medication until you speak to your vet. If he starts vomiting or the sleeping lasts more than a total of 24 hours then you need to take him to your vet or to the ER. As always, if you are really worried at this time you should take him to the ER for an exam. You know him best so if you. are worried you should act on that. Here is a link to an article about this medication's use in dogs: ( https://www.petplace.com/article/drug-library/drug-library/library/methocarbamol-robaxin-v-for-dogs-and-cats/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

My elderly dog was prescribed & has been on methocarbamol for 3 days and I want to stop it . He started urinating in house and breathing heavy. Can I stop it cold turkey and how long will it take to get out of his system?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Methocarbamol is Robaxin which is a muscle relaxant. It can cause sedation or grogginess. It doesn't need to be weaned and can be stopped abruptly. I would say it should be out of his system by 12 hours but some animals are more sensitive than others. I would recommend reaching out to your Vet about this side effect. If his breathing is concerning he should be seen as trouble breathing can be life threatening. If he is on other medications like steroids (medrol or prednisone) it is much more common to have these medications cause urination in the house and panting. I wish you and Porter the best!

A vet has already prescribed 20Mg Robenacoxib for our dog. We want to buy the repeat tablets online but I think he's going to want £20 each time just to write repeat prescriptions. Is there a way of avoiding this?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! In the US we do not charge to write prescriptions (as far as I know). The laws in the UK must be different. Robenacoxib are prescription so there is no way to get the drug with out your Vet approving the prescription, My suggestion is to ask for a larger supply, 3 months or more with refills. That way you do not have to pay the prescription fee that often. I hope this helps and have a great day!
