What's the best order to give my dog multiple meds? Side effects?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 year old | 55 lbs

He's currently taking sucralfate three times a day for ten days, metronidazole twice a day for ten days, cerenia once a day for two more days, she's also prescribed omeprazole twice a day for fourteen days. What's the best order to give these in? I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to give these to him. Is there anything I should watch out for while he's on these?

The order should be as followed: Cerenia first thing in the morning, one hour later Omeprazol and Sucralfate, then half an hour later Metronidazole (with food). If he does not throw up and his appetite is fine then there is nothing to worry about.
