Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

The vet should've told you how many hours to wait between each dosage. I'd wait at least 4-6 hours between each but I'd call the vet on Monday to confirm.

If she's supposed to take it 4 times/day, then dosing would likely be every 6 hours. Most vets have numbers to be reached at after hours too rather than waiting until Monday. I hope your girl feels better soon.

Yeah I'd have to echo what the last two people said.

I know nothing of dog medications, but when my little siblings are sick I need to wait 6 hours minimum before giving them another dose. Also the math works out perfectly. I'd still call the vet asap just to make sure though...
