Q & A

My dog has been on Clonidine 0.1mg 2 times a day since late Feb 2022. She's taking it due sound phobias. She had been making improvements but over the last few weeks she has been less willing to go out in the world. The last 7 days I have been giving her 0.1mg in the am and 0.2 in the evening (per vet instruction due to upcoming 4th of July) and her fear of sounds/world have increased. I'm just wondering if the last 7 days could be related to the increase in the medication or if it is an increase in her fears/phonbias?

My 9 month old papillon puppy may have gotten in to my prescription bottle of clonidine 0.1 mg. I don't know how many pills were in the bottle and the bottle was empty with no pills in sight. Will he be alright? This happened sometime between 8 and 10 am this morning and it is now 7 pm. He isn't acting out of the ordinary.?
