Millie is currently on a course of Synulox (nisamox) for her gastroenteritis last weekend with just two more left to be taken tomorrow.

Anyway I went to give her tonights tablet just now and the blister was opened.  I didn't think much of it thinking it was probably me that had opened it without realising, until I saw that instead of the usual pale pink colour this tablet was a mottled orangey colour.

Now the dilemma of the day is, do I throw that one away meaning she'll be one tablet short of the full course she was prescribed, or rather than not complete the course, give her that tablet.  I've already given her a different tablet tonight so it would be tomorrow.

Its not really that big a deal, but I just wondered what other people would do in such a circumstance!

give the vets a ring first and see what they say. it could be ok but you never know and the last thing you want is for it to make her ill.
hope it helps

I would ring the vet and ask him to exchange the tablet for a new one. If it's visibly damaged he should not have a problem with that. Even if he does, I would ask him to sell you another tablet as your're not prepared to give the dog that one, it would only be pennies.

Well £1.20 each tablet!!!

I have to ring them today anyway, so I shall see what they say, thanks peeps!
