No idea, on the alpha lipoic acid.

On CoQ10, I don't know a mg per kg dose. The vet my vet consulted
with about a dose for my approx 1 kg ferret Sunny suggested giving
her 30 mg a day, spread out over several feedings. I usually tried
for about 10 mg, 3 times a day.

There is a generic dose for dogs given at
http://www.vetheart.com/diseases.html , but it doesn't do it in mg
per pound.

Definitely, in both cases, talk with the vet in charge of the case.

Good luck,
