Hi, This is the information I gathered on a website on line. I googled dosing of atenonol for a 7.25 pound cat: See below:How Atenolol Is Supplied
• Atenolol is available in 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets.
• Atenolol injectable is supplied as 5 mg/ml.
Dosing Information
• Medication should never be administered without first consulting your veterinarian.
• The typical dose administered to dogs is 0.125 to 0.5 mg per pound (0.25 to 1.0 mg/kg) once to twice daily. The total daily dose is often 6.25 to 25 mg/dog.
• The typical dose administered to cats is 1 mg per pound (2 mg/kg) once daily. The total daily dose in cats is often 6.25 to 12.5 mg once or twice daily.
• Frequently, atenolol is given with other drugs, especially in pets undergoing treatment for heart failure or arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythm). In these situations, a lower initial dose may be prescribed.
• The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects. Be certain to complete the prescription unless specifically directed by your veterinarian. Even if your pet feels better, the entire treatment plan should be completed to prevent relapse or prevent the development of resistance
Okay so I have .25 on atenonol. He said 1/4, but I find that too much for her. Can we confirm this. Then yes, we will tweak the insulin around it. but I've been shaving a little off of 1/4 and she acts better and the bg numbers are better, but I feel uncomfortable and want a confirm I tried to do the math, again for me a challenge.
HELP.
