Apixaban increases the risk of hemorrhage and can cause serious, potentially fatal, bleeding. In scientific tests they gave dogs up to 1500mg/kg without ill effect other than bleeding. It is unlikely that Coohie will have any untoward effect with this medication provided he will not have surgery within the next 7d nor any injuries. Should he need blood taken at the vet during this time please postpone the appointment. Otherwise you should not have to worry.
