2 male dogs neutered given different doses of pain meds? General Dog Discussions
Last Friday we got our 29kg Husky X German Shepherd neutered. He was given 1 twice a day of Caprieve 20g. Today we had our 24kg Border Collie neutered and he has been given 2 twice a day of 20g of the same medicine. Why is the Border Collie given a more heavier dose whilst the Husky X given less? My mum is wondering whether or not to give the Collie his tablets yet.He's still not come round fully from the anaesthetic and most probably still on pain meds. Is the Collie safe to take these tablets?When the Collie comes off the anesthesia he will need these meds, but why is he given the higher dose, for being a lesser weight then the Husky?
