Forgetting a dose of your dog's Prozac can happen, and it’s important to know how best to proceed without causing any potential harm.
- Do not double the next dose unless specifically advised by your vet.
- Resume the normal dosing schedule as soon as possible.
- Consult your vet if you're unsure or if unusual symptoms develop.
The safest approach after a missed dose of Prozac is to continue with your dog's regular dosing schedule and skip the missed dose entirely. Doubling up on medication can sometimes result in adverse reactions, and it is generally not advised unless instructed by a vet. If you have any concerns, discussing them with your vet can provide added peace of mind.
