What is the dosage for a 50# dog? We keep smz for our horses
The average dosage of SMZ-TMP for dogs is about 13mg per pound given once daily. For a 50 pound dog this would be about 650mg daily. However, if you need to give a medication such as SMZ to your dog it is best to contact your local veterinarian for the correct dosage and usage information as this dosage can vary depending on your dog's personal needs or illness. Antibiotics should only be given under direct veterinary supervision as the antibiotics you have on hand may not be the correct dosage or even type for your dog's current condition. Giving a medication in the wrong dosage or frequency may make the illness worse or cause side effects that are detrimental to your dog.

We are trying to determine if my dog is getting an overdose of SMZ-TMP. Pills are 480 mg and she’s getting 1.5 tablets. She weighs 80 lbs right now, but the vet seemed to have prescribed this for her previous weight of 93 lb (from last year when she
Hello. There is a dose range for SMZ-TMP depending on what the drug is being used to treat. An average dose for an 80-pound dog would be 545 mg every 12 hours, but doses of up to 1636 mg are routinely used in some more serious conditions. So your dose may be appropriate for your pet, especially if she is responding to the medication. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog is a 3 year old, 26 pound beagle and was prescribed smz tmp 480 mg 2 times a day for 7 days for a UTI. I read this drug can be dangerous and it should only be 13 mg per pound. Is this drug safe and what dose and how long should my dog be takin
The usual dose used is 15mg/kg but you could go as high as 30mg/kg; so a 26# dog would need between 177mg to 354mg twice a day. I do think the dose is high so please call your vet and ask. Personally I would use 1/2 of a 480mg tablet twice a day. The person who filled the prescription may have made an error. The drug is very safe so I would not be worried about it's safety. Remember, any drug can cause side effects but I use this drug A LOT and very rarely see any side effects and if I do, they are usually mild.

Can i use swine excede on horses or cattle?
You can but you would need twice the amount than if you used the cattle/horse formulation. The swine Excede is 100mg/ml and the cattle/horse Excede is 200mg/ml . So, a 1,000 pound horse would need 15mls of the cattle/horse Excede but would need 30mls of the swine Excede.

My female boxer of 11 years of age, has a UTI. I have Sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160MG. Could you please tell how much I should give her and for how long? I didn't want to just go by what the I find on the internet. Thank you!
Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from providing a dose in the absence of a physical exam and VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship). It is important to have a UTI diagnosed by your veterinarian. A sterile urine sample can be collected and submitted for culture and sensitivity. This may identify the organism responsible as well as the best antibiotic to use in treatment. The SMZ-TMP tabs you have may not be effective against the bacteria. Additionally, inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying condition which could delay diagnosis.
