My cat's medicine dose was missed. Can I give it late tonight?

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, 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!

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! While it is not ideal to do that, if she has been getting that medication for a good bit now, doing it once daily instead of twice daily for 1 day should not affect things much. Have a good night!

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!

Not a problem Laila, I'm glad to help! It's absolutely fine to wait to give her more until when her next dose is due, especially since you aren't sure how much she was given. You don't want to give her too much and risk an overdose. Hopefully next time, the syringe won't get stuck and you can give her all the antibiotic! Have a great night :-)
