Can I give my dog injectable Albon orally if I don't have a syringe?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. If the Albon is labeled as injectable, then that is how is it supposed to be used. There are oral suspensions of Albon you can get from your vet. Best of luck.

My puppy got too much Albon. What should I do about the dosage?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding McKayla. I would give her the low dose starting today and contact her veterinarian tomorrow. They may refill the medication so that you have enough for the low dose for the 9 days. Albon is a very safe drug so you should not have to worry about toxicity. I hope this information helps!

My cat has giardiasis. Is albendazole safe? What are other options?
Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would not recommend the albendazole as it has cause a bone marrow toxicosis when used in cats. Very dangerous situation. The current thinking is to treat these cats with fenbendazole & a probiotic like Purina FortFlora or Proviable KP. Check with your vet about switching to the fenbendazole. Take care.

Vet Q & A
My ferret has diarrhea. Can I give Albon, or should I see a vet?
It is advised to have a veterinarian perform a decal exam to try to pinpoint the cause of diarrhea. Albion is a reasonable option given the presence of specific parasites. However, if the diarrhea is caused by bacterial overgrowth or different parasites, then you’d need another medication. So it’s always best to give any medication under the direction of a veterinarian.

Vet Q & A
My puppy has coccidia & UTI. Is Albon the correct treatment for both?
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. The albon is for treatment of coccidia and will not treat a UTI. Was the UTI confirmed? It is unusual to see such a young dog get a UTI. I would have the urine tested if it has not been tested already. An antibiotic such as clavamox would be used to treat the infection. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
