Correction: Diagnosing canine copper-associated hepatopathies

The dosage for zinc (elemental) was listed incorrectly in Table 2 of this article.

In Table 2 of the article "Diagnosing and treating canine copper-associated hepatopathies" (August 2008), the dosage given for zinc (elemental) was incorrect. The dosage should have appeared as follows:

Table 2

Treating Canine Copper Hepatopathy

Drug

Dosage

Zinc (elemental)

5-10 mg/kg PO every 12 hours

We regret any confusion this may have caused.
