Hi there, Our 5 month old nine pound puppy accidentally ate 1/2 tab (100mg) of Zeniquin that was intended for our Lab. What can I give her to reverse this drug? What should I do??? I have access to activated charcoal, slippery elm, etc. Please ad
A normal dose of Zeniquin is 2.75-5.5 mg/kg, and your puppy ingested 12.2 mg/kg. As an antibiotic, this medication may cause possible transient vomiting, diarrhea, or a loss of appetite. In young puppies given high doses of Zeniquin daily for 2-4 weeks, lameness and cartilage problems were noted in a study, but this would not be expected after a one-time ingestion. At this point, I recommend feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice for the next few days to decrease stimulation to the GI tract. After a few days of this diet, you can gradually transition back to puppy food over another 5-7 days. If you need additional peace of mind, you can call the ASPCA animal poison control center at (888) 426-4435. Unless they direct otherwise, I cannot see any benefit in giving activated charcoal or other decontaminants after an antibiotic. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

My dog was shaking yesterday and really weak. Unable to walk up steps. Today he's still unable to walk up steps and isn't acting himself at all. He walks really slow. We think its possibly due to air conditioning due to the fact it gets really cold a

My cat has a staph infection Strep infection and interic rod recieved new meds today zeniquin for the staph 25mg and clavamox125 mg for the other two I gave both meds at 230 pm and I went to give just the clavamox but forgot and gave both again at 10
It's a good question, but rest assured the safety margin for using Zeniquin is high - this means that you are not likely to see any issues by giving Leopold an accidental extra dose tonight. I would suggest that you continue by using the Clavamox every 12hrs, and repeating the next dose of Zeniquin tomorrow evening. It is best if both meds are given around mealtime - they are less likely to cause nausea and vomiting if given with a meal. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

My rat has a uri . Chewy.com has medicine they sell, I was gonna try baytril antibiotics, how much should I give him ?
Hello. Chewy does offer pharmaceutical drugs, but you will need a prescription from your veterinarian to order anything. You will need to see your vet anyway because there are no medications made specifically for rodents & the doses have to be very carefully calculated & often the medications compounded to make a safe dose for such a small pet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

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).
