I accidentally gave my 80 lb dog a double dose of Rovera, they normally get two a day but 12 hours apart but I accidentally gave them two within a span of two hours
Leave out the next dose and Jane should be ok as Carprofen (the active ingredient of Rovera) can be given in a double dose once daily or one dose every 12 hours. Watch her poop for the next teo or three days, if it is black, stop the Rovera and consult your veterinarian. Should Jane get lethargic, start to vomit or get diarrhea, you should also take her to your vet for an exam and blood work.

I have an older dog with heartworms and I gave my puppy Tri heart plus and I noticed round worms in his poop after 24hrs is this normal and should I give him something else to treat it?
Tri heart plus kills roundworms, so it sounds like the medication is working. You do not need to give Thor anything else at the moment. Given him another dose of deworming medication in two weeks to kill all the worms.

My vet said my dog has parvovirus , it's been 2days now that his fever has been controlled . His appetite has also increased . I would also like to tell you that he was not suffering from diarrhea or vomitting .. but his poop is tarry .. though it's
I'm very sorry that Rio has parvo, but it's good news that his appetite has increased and the consistence of his poop has increased. The tarry consistence does indicate bleeding in the upper GI tract, so he's not out of the woods yet. It does take some time for a dog to fully recover from parvo, and it can be weeks before a dog is back to normal. The acute phase is between 7-14 days. A sign of how well a dog is doing is how well he is eating. If he is eating and there is no vomiting and diarrhea, then the prognosis is good. Make sure he does stay hydrated because dehydration is the number one cause of death in these dogs. Offer Rio small amounts of Pediasure using a syringe or small turkey baster. Give any medications prescribed by the vet, and if he starts vomiting, his stool gets very bloody, he stops eating, or he becomes extremely lethargic, rush him back into a vet immediately. Good luck, and I hope he fully recovers from this!

How much Fenbendazole would you give to a box turtle that weighs about to or less than 3 lbs? Where can you get it and what should I buy
Thanks for reaching out about Turbo. It is not legal to prescribe or give a dose of a medication over the internet, without the veterinarian performing a physical examination. A local veterinarian should be scheduled and a fecal examination performed, so a treatment plan can be presented. Good luck.

Our dogs has been diagnosed with cushions disease. She is 6.5 lbs, our vet wants to start her on 3 mg of trilostane twice daily. From the research I have seen this seems like a lot. What do you think?
There is no one Trilostane dose. A veterinarian will always prescribe a dose individual to the animal. This will depend on the clinical exam in combination with the blood test results and any other information the veterinarian gathers. Medications have a dosage range. Dosages are adjusted, and sometimes dosages also fall outside the range depending on the case. Dosages are per dog and not according to weight. 3mg Trilostane twice daily is lower than the dose that used to be given and a tad higher than the usual dose. You should ask your veterinarian why he chose this dosage, and he should be able to give you the reason.
