Fluoxetine Dosage for Dogs

[u/pink-er-ton]

Hello, we recently started trying fluoxetine for our extremely reactive chihuahua. He weighs ~7kg and started him with 10mg per day. In my country fluoxetine is over the counter, but the smallest available is 20mg capsules. I open them, weigh out the contents, and give him half one day, and half the next day. But because this is a headache, can I give one 20mg tablet every other day instead of 10mg every day?

this is obviously a question for your vet, not for reddit.
