Overview
As you titrate the dose to determine the proper maintenance dose, administer a daily dose of 0.5 to 3 mg per 100 pounds of body weight. Until you have determined the right dose, monitor the response of the animal. Typically, a maintenance dose is between 6 and 36 mg per day. This depends on a number of factors, including the animal's individual health and their condition.
