I used adaptil 24/7 +  zylene (up to two 450mg capsules per day) for a 20kg boy.

have decreased as he has become more confident and dropped the adaptil altogether.

Not using adaptil.

 

But I'm thinking maybe perhaps I need to increase the dose?  My boy is 10Kg.  Based on the guidelines... it suggests 1-2x 75mg table for 10kg (150mg)... but then also suggest 1x 225mg for 10kg-15kg.  Given that it is natural, how much increase is considered safe?

 

@JRG based on your 20kg weight, guideline suggests 1x 450mg but you mentioned that you give up to 2 a day.  Do you see a difference on the days you give one capsule compared to two?

The vet said I can give him three x 450mg if I foresee a problem day (ie lots of male visitors!) but I have never given him more than 2.

I have to admit that Ted is much improved, but it has taken us 4+ months to get this far.  Don’t expect too much too soon.
