Question

]. What is the dosage of dramamine that should be given to a dog to reduce motion (car) sickness? A) 1 ml per lb every 2 hours B) up to 50 mg every 8 hours C) 5 mg per lb every 12 hours D) up to 2 mg per lb every 8 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

It is advisable to talk to your vet before administering any medication to dogs, but generally speaking, vets will prescribe Dramamine at a strength of around 2 mg per pound to be given no more than three times a day. In other words, if your dog weighs 20 pounds, you can give him 40 mg of Dramamine every eight hours. You can also find dosage calculators online if you prefer not to do the math yourself. If you're not 100 percent sure about your dog's weight, err on the side of safety and underestimate his weight so you give him less medication rather than too much. Do not give dogs the Non-Drowsy Naturals tablets, as these contain too much ginger to be safe for dogs.
