Question
10yr old ShihTzu, doc says tyroid not really too bad but prescribed .1mg Soloxine be given daily at 6:00am. Our day does not start that early...can I change time to 8:00am and is this really safe for her liver and kidneys? Thank you!

There should not be a problem with you giving your dog his meds at a different time than recommended. Consult with your veterinarian before you make the change, but I am pretty sure he/she would be okay with it.
