Separation anxietyQ: The vet has started our 15 yr old dog on clomipramine 5 mg bid x 2 weeks then 10 mg bid for a total of 20 mg qd. the dog is 12 1/2 #. since the 5 mg capsules are so expensive, when we get to the increased dosage can he have it all at once, is it timed release or would 25 mg not work for his size. 5 mg is 3 times the amount and pet meds does not even carry 5 mg or any tablets only capsules. thanks A: There is only a small difference between the 20 mg tablet and the 25 mg capsule but the vet would have to authorize it. it is not a time release product and depending on the effect desired whether or not you can use a once a day dosing. we do have people giving 1/2 capsule dosing.
Droncit -tape wormQ: I have a large male dog 14+ years old (chico) and he is quite feeble and is ailing. fleas are a problem. i normally and routinely give all my animals (3 cats & two dogs)droncit at least annually. if i see evidence of tape worms then i re-treat as necessary but not more than twice a year. i control fleas as best i can using sentinel for the dogs. i have administered sentinal to chico but am wary of the droncit. i have seen no evidence of tape worms and feel unless i do it's better to forgo the treatment. please advise if i'm on track, also advise consequences of sentinel for chico. also if i do find evidence of tapeworms should a risk the droncit? txs. jane hilsabeck A: Droncit is very safe drug so i would not worry
