Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: I have a 12 year old ***** ***** terrier. He is prescribed vetmedin 2.5 mg capsule twice daily. I gave him his morning dose, then my dad gave him a second morning dose. Today he is very anxious/restless and is barking and panting a lot. It has now been over 12 hours, what should I do? I'm not going to give him his night dose.
JA: I'll do all I can to help. I know panting can certainly be worrying. Does the ***** ***** Terrier have a cough as well?
Customer: No
JA: What's the ***** ***** Terrier's name?
Customer: Gimley
JA: Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: He started this medication about a month ago

Hi this is Dr Brown. I’m a licensed veterinarian with more than a decade of small animal experience. I’ll do my best to help you and Gimley. I’m so sorry about the medication mixup! I know how stressful that can be!
Can you tell me Gimleys weight?
Customer
18 lbs
how long ago did he receive the two doses of the medication
Customer
This morning, about 13 hours ago
Have his signs gotten better, worse or stayed the same?
Customer
They thankfully have gotten better and he is now sleeping
Great!! I am happy to hear that
the dose that Gimley received is just outside the therapeutic range for this drug but was likely the cause of the signs that you observed
Fortunately the levels of this drug in his blood are declining, which is why he has improved
I think you are fine to skip the dose this evening and resume normal dosing tomorrow
Customer
Okay great, thank you so much
Of course. I am so happy you reached out and take such good care of Gimley!
Is there anything else I can help you with this evening?
Since I haven't heard back, I am going to close this question thread. I hope that Gimley continues to do well and that this incident is in the past! Please know that you can continue to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
