Can I give my cat her antifungal medicine early without double dosing?

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!

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!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sam. Since you didn't give all of the medication at once, you can switch the times to make it more convenient for you. Just make sure to give it at the new times consistently. I hope this helps!

Hello. You can definitely skip the 7 PM dose today & restart the schedule tomorrow morning, or if you think it will simplify things, just give the pill in the evenings from here on out. But, skipping tonight & restarting in the morning will have no adverse consequences for Walter. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Snow had an anal gland rupture. Ideally twice daily medications are given every 12 hours, but giving them a little early should not be an issue. Good luck!

No worries. If you gave this medication 6 hrs ahead of schedule, it is not going to cause any toxicity concerns whatsoever. You can presume her medication tomorrow morning since you already gave her two doses today, just one was a little earlier than recommended. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and take care of that fur baby Bailey moving forward. Take care.

Hello. Because of the half life of medications, it is important to try & stay within the recommended dosing range. If you are off an hour or so every so often, that is OK. But especially with the methimazole, you want get the best possible effects from this medication for Tony, so that means adhering as close to schedule as possible. The tumil-k is just a supplement, so timing is not as critical, but again, it is best to try your best to adhere to the proper schedule so an even amount of the medications are always present in his system to control his condition.
