Based on Dexter's weight of 8.2 lb the dose your veterinarian may have provided might be too low. I would speak to your vet on the phone in morning and tell him that you do not believe the medication is achieving the desired effect. Ask your vet about possibly increasing the dose or changing to a different drug.
