Dosage would depend on weight (so please indicate it in a further post). We would not be allowed to tell you this drug is fine as it is for human beings and ideally an equivalent for dogs should be administered first. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
