Is human Metformin safe for pets? What are the dangers of giving it?

No, I would not recommend doing this. You cannot be sure that you are giving them the exact amount they need, and you could overdose them or underdose them. You will need to give them the liquid as prescribed by the vet.

Signs could include vomiting, lethargy, and/or hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can be an emergency, and may present as shakiness, lethargy, listlessness, lack of coordination, confusion , lack of consciousness, seizures, and can even be fatal. I recommend you contact your vet immediately to have Charlie seen, and contact the pet poison helpline at the link below and let them know what happened. Give them Charlie's weight as well so they can help calculate if there may be a possible toxicity based on the amount of medication he ingested. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/

Meloxicam can be used in cats but with caution. Giving the wrong dose of meloxicam can be very dangerous for cats. The low dose (0.5 mg/ml) formula can be dosed with the provided syringe. In the cat this product is given either as a single one time injection in association with surgery (its FDA approved use) or long term 2-3 times per week (its non-U.S. dose). Long term use of this product in cats is "off label" in the U.S. In my opinion, there is a specific NSAID made for cats called Onsior that would be safer to give.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No, I would not use this product for baby mice. You will likely end up overdosing them on potassium and that will kill them. That particular product also has a lot of sugar. I am not sure what you are trying to treat but just plain water is probably fine unless they are having severe diarrhea. If they are having severe diarrhea then you should have them checked by a vet as parasites and bacterial infections are the main causes - both of which need specific treatment. You can make a homemade electrolyte replacement solution. Here is the recipe: 4½ cups water 2 teaspoons sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking soda Hope this helps. Best wishes!

While certain human insulins can be used in cats, it is never recommended to change your cat's insulin yourself. Please do not use any insulin that isn't specifically prescribed by your vet as you could go great harm to Daja, which could potentially be fatal.

I honestly cannot give you the dose information, even if you say you take full responsibility. It is illegal for me to do so, and I could lose my license to practice by giving you that information. I can tell you that metrogyl contains metronidazole, which is used in cats safely. If you are concerned about the dose and want a second opinion, I recommend making another appointment with a vet to discuss this in person with them.

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 Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
