My dog takes Enalapril twice a day. Is that dosage too much?

I would not be overly concerned however, it depends on the dose and how far apart the doses were given. If you are talking about 2 hours apart then there could be an issue. If you are talking more like 9-10 hours apart then it should be just fine.

A single dose (not overdosed) should not cause any harm if your dog is fit and healthy. Monitor him for the day, he may feel weaker than normal and urinate more. Make sure water is available all the time.

Hello. 5 mg was a very small dose of enalapril ( which we do use regularly in dogs ) for a dog that weighs 55 pounds. Abby will be perfectly fine & you have nothing to worry about. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The dose for dogs is 0.5mg per kg. Enalapril comes in 2.5mg tablets so did Charlie eat 2.5mg or 0.25mg? If he only at 0.25mg he probably will have no ill effects. If he ate 2.5mg then he could have some side effects. Things to watch out for: low blood pressure, increased urination, decreased appetite, vomiting, sudden lethargy or weakness.

I would not recommend that you change out meds without direct supervision by your vet. Dosing is not the same between these two drugs and it depends a lot on what condition we are treating here. Lisinopril is not as commonly used in dogs. If you are out of meds and cannot refill until tomorrow, it would be better to skip a dose then to change meds suddenly (although certainly skipping meds is not advised if you can avoid it).

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about E. Low blood pressure is the most common sign of toxicity. Other signs include lethargy, excess salivation, increased heart rate, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and cough. If you see any of those signs, rush him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, Entyce should only be given once daily. This is a fairly new medication and studies have only been done on the once daily dosing. However, this medication should still be effective on a once daily doing schedule and the drug lingers in the system for that time period. Good luck and have a great day!
