Ask your vet to have the Amitriptyline compounded into a liquid or a transdermal gel. The transdermal gel is absorbed directly into the skin so you don't have to give anything by mouth. It is probably going to be the easiest solution for you. ( https://www.1800petmeds.com/Amitriptyline+Compounded-prod90001.html?Ntt=Amitriptyline+Compounded )

Ultimately, this is a decision that really needs to be made by the prescribing veterinarian, as there may be good reasons for choosing one of these medications over the other for a particular patient. But in general, I can tell you that most veterinary behaviorists prefer SSRIs like fluoxetine over older TCAs like amytriptyline as a first-line choice for anxiety issues in cats because they tend to have fewer side effects and are better tolerated by most patients. I personally use fluoxetine frequently in both dogs and cats, and have not prescribed amirtiptyline in years. But again, your vet may have good reasons for whichever medication they recommend - just ask, and express your concerns if you have any so that the two of you can come to the best decision for Fiona :)

Hello. 5 mg a day is a relatively low dose, so you can wean him pretty quickly. Decrease the dose by 50% ( 1/4 tablet ) for 2 days, then 1/4 tablet every other day for a couple of doses, finishing with 1/4 tablet every 3 days for a couple of doses & you will be safely done. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Trazodone has a very wide dosage range due to the variation of an individual dog's response to this medication. While Alice's dose is near the upper dosage range at 13.5mg/kg, it is still within a normal dosage range. If you have concerns about the dose or any possible side effects, please contact the prescribing vet.

I am sorry to hear about your dog! Unfortunately a veterinarian cannot legally prescribe you pain medication without examining your dog within the past year, so we cannot prescribe any medication through our online service. I would look into finding out if there is a low cost option for veterinary services in your area, such as a humane society or APL/APA.
