My dog ran out of medication. Is it safe for her to miss a day?

Question

My dog ran out of her medication and my dad forgot to pick it up yesterday and the pharmacy is closed on the weekends. Will she be okay missing a whole day of meds? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 9 months old | 40 lbs

Hello. You do not indicate what medication Lily is on so I cannot really say, but if there is no way to pick up the meds, you will just have to make do. But in general, missing a few doses are fine, unless this is a life saving heart drug. If this is the case, you may need to contact an emergency clinic to see if they can fill the prescription for you. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
