I gave my puppy more than double the safe(?) dosis metoclopramidehydro-chloride, 8 mg (instead of 3) for a 6 kg dog. Is she gonna be okay? I gave her so much because the vet told me to but I looked it up later online and apparently the medicine is no
If you gave the medication as your vet prescribed it she should probably be fine. In rare cases of overdose adverse reactions include changes in mentation (depression, nervousness, restlessness) and behavior. It may also cause sedation. Keep an eye out for any of these symptoms and if you notice them call your vet. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

Ruger keeps getting carsick, the vet gave me some anti nausea pills for him while he has parvo, can I give those to him? I didn't end up using all of them, or is there something else I can do? Anti nausea pills: metoclopramide 10mg tablets
Nausea due to car sickness is different than nausea due to internal illness. Metoclopramide treats nausea due to internal illness, so there is a good chance this medication won't work for this purpose. You can however give motion sickness medication, so just ask your pets veterinarian about over the counter options for him, or ask for the pet formulated motion sickness medication called Cerenia.

My dog was prescribed metoclopramide 5mg.. 1/2 to 1 pill a day for stomach issues. Her sister is also allowed to have one, so when I feed them, I usually put one in each dish. I usually watch them eat but didn't tonight. One of my girls didn't get
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! She should be fine. I recommend in the future to give medications in a little bit of food and watch to be sure the correct dog gets the medication. Pill pockets are also nice. Or feed them in separate rooms until they are done and you know the pills have been eaten. Have a good night!
