Every held source for this drug and species, as printed. Where they differ, both are shown — the choice is yours, not ours.
The sources disagree for this combination. The ranges below do not overlap on a comparable route. This is not an error in one of them — published veterinary references differ, and reconciling them for a particular patient is a clinical judgement.

Competitive mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptor antagonist. Rapidly reverses opioid-induced respiratory depression, sedation, and hypotension.
Very short duration (30-60 min) — renarcotization risk with long-acting opioids. May precipitate acute withdrawal, pain, and sympathetic surge. Repeat dosing often needed.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for white's tree frogs may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.

These are general warnings for Naloxone across species; consult the white's tree frog dosing table above for species-specific guidance. Very short duration (30-60 min) — renarcotization risk with long-acting opioids. May precipitate acute withdrawal, pain, and sympathetic surge. Repeat dosing often needed.
Why a species-specific page? Naloxone pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in white's tree frogs — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
