Giving any medication to your dog without the explicit guidance of a veterinarian is extremely dangerous and could be life-threatening.
Here's why:
* Dosage varies significantly. The correct dosage of Nexium (or any medication) depends on factors like your dog's size, breed, age, and specific medical condition.
* Drug interactions. Nexium can interact with other medications your dog may be taking, leading to serious complications.
* Side effects. All medications have potential side effects, and some can be severe.
What you should do:
1. Contact your veterinarian immediately. They can assess your dog's needs and provide the correct dosage and administration instructions for Nexium, if it is deemed necessary.
2. Never administer human medications to your dog without veterinary supervision.
Please prioritize your dog's safety and seek professional veterinary guidance.
