 I was looking to trial prokinetic (e.g. metoclopramide) to encourage bowel emptying in a large (40 kg) dog but emeprid seems to come in small bottles (125 mls of 1 mg/ml solution) when the dose he needs would likely be 40 mls/day.

Not sure if it would work for dogs, only ever used it in cats (and not always as successful either).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can order it from Summit, either as a 2.5 or 5mg tablet or a suspension. Not entirely sure about the price, can&amp;#39;t access the page at the moment but from memory, it is about &amp;pound;25 for 100 tablets or so.&lt;/p&gt;
