Are vet techs qualified to give medication dosage advice for my dog?

Unfortunately, we are not permitted to give out drug dosages without a veterinarian - client - pet relationship. If you are seeking this information, I would obtain it through a veterinarian in person or through a veterinary formulary such as Plumb's or Merck. Hope this makes sense.

We are not legally allowed to prescribe medications without actually examining the animal. You will need to ask your vet about precription medications and proper dosing. If he was just seen and had bloodwork than your vet may be able to prescribe over the phone. Call your vet and ask if it is ok to give the medication and ask about dosing. Hope he recovers soon!

You should contact your vets office for a recommendation as we are not in a position legally to give out dosages. In order to do legally so we would have to have a patient-veterinarian-owner relationship with you. Your veterinarian also knows your dog and the potential risks for your dog receiving this medication.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The best way to go about this is to then contact the veterinarian who prescribed these so that they can relay the dose they wanted to give as we are not able to prescribe without being able to see your pup in person. Best of luck!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! 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).

Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to give the dose information for any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for Fifi. I'd give your vet a call to see if it's safe to give her Mucinex now and they can advise you on how much to give her. Good luck!

Legally, we are prohibited from providing dosing information, even for OTC medications, in the absence of a physical exam and a patient-veterinarian-client relationship. Contact your veterinarian who can give you a dose based on Chloe's current weight.
