Dr Jeff had wanted me to share something that just happened to us this past week....
We had discussed trying Rimadyl for my corgi and when the Vet told me about the prescription she said she would write it for 25 mg ...we went to pick it up and they brought it out and the label said 25 mg as we had been told and the person who brought it out said 25 mg again. Thankfully the pill is easily marked itself because when we went to give it to her the pills were huge and clearly said 75 on them!! This was very scary because I don’t know what damage that amount could’ve done ( my first thought was that could’ve killed her )? .... I’m guessing Dr Jeff wanted me to share this just as a reminder / warning to please always double check whatever prescription you may get and not assume that what you were prescribed is what in fact was given as mistakes happen for humans and animals
