  • Trazodone is commercially available as a 50 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg tablet. Your veterinarian is recommending a liquid version of Trazodone that would need to be customized or compounded by a compounding pharmacy. VetRxDirect does not offer a compounded trazodone liquid at this time. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions or concerns regarding this medication.

  • According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, this medication may be given with food or on an empty stomach. Liquid forms of the medication may be given using a syringe. When administering pills, it is recommended that you always follow “pilling” with a small amount of food or about a teaspoonful of water to make sure the capsules or tablets do not get stuck in the throat on the way to the stomach. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine what would be most appropriate for your pet.

Should I keep giving same dosage but for how long, till clears off? I read rewiews, some cat owners see improvement of dental condition if they give for 1 month, and it clears off for several months, and all over again in several months .?

  • Antibiotics such as clindamycin should only be taken for the duration indicated by your veterinarian. Please contact your veterinarian to determine if clindamycin is still appropriate for your cat.

• As I was giving the medication to my dog, she tilted the head (cause she hates it, so she tries to escape the procedure), and some of it went in her eye. I just wanted to know if it's safe or not. I did my best to wash her eye right away, but I was wondering if it can cause any irritations. Thank you.?

  • Since this medication was not manufactured to be administered to the eye, there is the possibility of irritation. Contact your dog's veterinarian if you have further questions or concerns.

• Is 1ml of 50mg/1ml once per day for two weeks too high of a concentration for my a 8 lb cat since I'm only seeing 25mg/ml??

  Asked by MMC

  • According to the package insert, cat should get 5.0 - 15.0 mg/lb body weight dose once every 24 hours depending on the severity of the condition. If your cat is 8 Ib, the dose range should be between 40mg-120mg/day, which is about 1.6ml-4.8ml of this 25mg/ml product. However, the dose should be determined based on the severity of the condition. Please consult with your veterinarian for advice on dosing this medication for your cat.
