Hello. Lisinopril is indicated for proteinuria in dogs, but I can not just tell you to give this to her. I do not know her overall health & this can make a tremendous difference when giving medications. Please talk to your veterinarian to see if Lisinopril is warranted to treat Roxy, & what the correct dose would be. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
