My cat got an extra Enalapril dose. How do I adjust his schedule?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This will really depend on the reasons why he is receiving these medications. However, generally as a general rule you would just push it back and medicate when you get home and then change the time he receives those medications to match when it was given today. Good luck!

Hi there. Cody is a very handsome kitty :) Enalapril's effects are pretty subtle and long-term, so it shouldn't cause any significant issues for him to miss a few doses. Just get his prescription filled when you are able to, and continue the meds as directed once you have them.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you only gave the medication at 4pm and not both 4pm and 8pm she should be fine. Giving it 4 hours early is OK. Just try your best to give it every 24 hours if at all possible.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Harley. Given it wasn't too far off when she should get her medication, this likely won't cause a problem. And yes, it will be safe to give her medication at 5:30am tomorrow. I hope this helps!

Not to worry - this type of issue happens quite frequently. At this point, I think your best bet is to give Tater-Tot her 11pm enalapril dose early around 8-9pm, and then return her to her normal 11am/11pm schedule tomorrow. Do not give a double dose! If she seems to show signs of congestive heart failure, such as difficulty breathing, trouble settling down, or exercise intolerance, it is worth taking her to a vet urgently. Fortunately congestive heart failure is rarely dramatically exacerbated after missing one dose of medication. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is best to NOT re-dose him until you are 100% sure he has not received the evening medication. If you are unsure then skip the evening dose and start again tomorrow morning. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes it is okay if he misses one dose on accident. Just remember to give him his enapril pill tomorrow as you have done in the past. Missing multiple days in a row may cause a problem but missing one dose is not concerning. I hope this has helped and I wish you and Riley the very best!
