This is my HUGE DISCLAIMER I must post first. I am only listing some common drugs used on my DOGS, I am not a Veterinarian I am not making diagnoses here. I am listing here the recommended dosages from the drug's manufacturer's sites for quick reference only. Dosages from your own Vet. may vary due to the condition of the patient or interactions w/other drugs given at the same time.

Abbreviations are:

PO- Give orally

SQ- Subcutaneously

IM- Intramuscularly

ml-milliliter

mg- milligram

kg- kilogram

U- units

iu-international units

bid- twice daily

tid- three times a day

qid- four times a day

q- every, h- hour, wk- week
