Pippin is on vetmedin for a few months now and initially we were told to give him the capsule with his food.
Now the capsules are not available anymore and we were told to give the tablets an hour before food.
Pippin is 7 and 1/2 years old and from the time we got him at 9 weeks he has always been fed first thing in the morning with our other two dogs, we have tried for a few days making him wait, but to be honest he works himself into such a state I'm worried he collapse, he has epliepsy also and gets his phenobarbitol an hour after breakfast and dinner so I'm wondering if the vetmedin can be given this way too, an hour after, or does it have to be an hour before?
I know it's sounds like I'm giving in but if he was just barking, I could put up with it but he is running around, spinning, chasing around with the other dogs and following my every move until he is just panting like mad to breath, and I get so worried....yes he's our little devil, but we love him...
Any advice with be a great help, Thanks
PS: my other problem is that for summer months until sept I have to leave for work at different times, between 7.10 and 8.40 so it will be hard to be consistant with tablet times
