This Newsletter is a supplement to our regular one. The goal is to invite all of you to the cocktail party we are having with the Rosenblum winery at the World Veterinary Congress in San Francisco. As always, there is a useful piece of information offered; this time it is dosages for behavioral drugs. Some of these may be found on our web page in the article by Gary Landsburg on Compulsive Disorders of Dogs. The new brochure is on line.
Practice Tip
The following doses are for behavioral drugs. To treat Compulsive Disorders it is important to also identify the conflict, train and exercise the dog and avoid punishment. These doses will be part of my handout for my talk on Psychodermatology at the PanAm Conference in Panama on September 14.
| Clomiprimine | Dogs 2-3 mg/kg/BID | Cats .5-1 mg/kg QD |
| Fluoxetine and Paroxetine | Dogs 1 mg/kg/QD | Cats .5 mg/kg QD |
| Amitriptylline | Dogs 2-4 mg/kg/BID | Cats about 5 mg/cat |
