Our dog is about to start on gabapentin for leeg pain. Does anyone have any experience in this area. He is 16 yrs old and 35 lbs. I understand it is not approved for pet, but I am interested in any information. ## I do not know much about the drug in question. Many pain killers designed for humans takes a toll on an animals insides. Our dog (45 lbs) has been on a pain killer by the name of PIROXICAM for over 3 years without showing any side effects. Many vets. promote drugs and in return get lunches, free samples etc. from pharmacutical sales reps.. Please request information on PIROXICAM. I am not a vet. nor a salesman. Hope this helps. ## Yes, sorry, this site does not have any vet information here, so we cannot help you with that usage info. Many drugs that are useful in people also ...

Our English Cocker Spaniel requires a weekly dose of .05ml Aranesp Alpha (25 mcg/ml). I looking to purchase the drug in 1 ml vials on-line. Does anyone have a source for the drug in this form and at a good price? ## Have you tried the pet medication sites? There are quite a few and the price varies from one to the other, as well as any possible shipping charges. Learn more Aranesp details here. Does anyone else have any suggestions? ## Thanks. A call to a local Rite Aid and it was available for $170 (close at thriving pets.com but shipping adds $55). Thanks for your help

Are Toxic to your PETS, the EPA listed one of the chemicals in these products as very TOXIC ## The important thing to be noted here is that all of these types of products use pesticides that have the potential to be toxic, if used improperly. That's why it's very important to only use them as instructed, in the proper dosage for your pet. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Used properly or in improperly they're remain extremely TOXIC to your pets and yourself

is it ok to grind pills that have to be given to pets so that they can be mixed with their food? ## Yes, you can do that as long as they aren't time released pills and as long as your veterinarian or the pill labeling hasn't warned you not to do so. There are some pills that would carry such a warning, because they may do damage to the stomach or esophagus if they are crushed and the protective outer coating removed. Learn more prescription drug details here. Check the labeling and if you see something such as ER, XR, SR or something similar then it is time released and not safe to crush or grind up. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found some oval peach colored pills with a 25|MG Z imprint. It's a medication for pets (cats) I think, but I can only find things that look similar yet have a different imprint than Z. Please help, thanks. ## My dog was attacked by a German shepherd. He had to have a drainage tube and several stiches. I ask for pain meds for him. I was given a long pinkish pill looks like XO on 1side and 75 on other. He can usually go all night without peeing in the house but he went several times after taking only 1 half.

my dog is on Purbac for a skin infection, can i give him Petscam at the same time? ## @Phillip, I haven't come across any medications under the name "Petscam". The name is just so broad that my results are even bringing up pet owners who've previously been scammed. Lol! Would you happen to have the packaging in hand to help determine which ingredients are in Petscam? Also, Purbac (Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim) is a very powerful antibiotic that carries many side effects. So I would also recommend talking to your vet about this before making the final decision on whether or not you should combine it with another medication. I hope this helps! ## Thank you David,I took your advice and spoke to the vet who precribed the Purbac. He said to finish the course then I can sta...

Don't use Frontline or Advantage from everything I've read these two are Very TOXIC to your pets ## @jri, Thanks for the heads up on which flea products to avoid. It's a shame how many of these manufacturers get away with putting such toxic substances into products that go directly on the cat thinking it wont do any harm, with pet owners left in the dark about their safety. Seems the only way to know is to research each and every ingredient ourselves, because now these companies (and probably others as well) can't ever be trusted with their misleading marketing schemes. Do you happen to know the names of the specific chemical compounds they use, so we can be on the look out for any other products that contain these same ingredients?

Is the main concern with application site the issue of transfer to other surfaces/people/pets etc? I'm having to switch to Foresta from Androgel, and my preferred site for Androgel was the chest/abdomen area, which worked well (verified by blood levels). Fortesta seems to take longer to dry and is irritating my thigh a little, and if transfer is the only issue, I'd like to try it on the chest; I can manage the transfer issue. ## Hello, Brad! How are you? That risk is the only reason they list, but you should double check with your doctor, in case there may be some other issue at play. Learn more Fortesta details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

For those owners in the unenviable position of needing Tussigon for their pets chronic cough: as a veterinary specialist in canine and feline practice, let me say we vets would LOVE to be able to dispense this med to your pets since it is highly effective BUT 1) the drug is essentially now unavailable even to pharmacies at the veterinary teaching hospitals; and 2) the DEA in its "wisdom" has decided to make this drug a Schedule II drug (eg. morphine) because of perceived increase in human abuse. ## @FrustratedCareGiver, Thank you for the heads up on Tussigon's availability. It looks like those pet owners will have to resort to other forms of treatment for their pet's chronic coughing. I wonder though, what would be the next best alternative that patients will have access...

can my dog take doxycyclLXHF ## To answer your question, yes, Doxycycline (for dogs) is a broad spectrum antibiotic that kills different types of bacterial infections in pets. It’s a prescription medication that’s commonly administered to dogs suffering from Lyme disease and Chlamydia. In addition to this, vets often prescribe doxycycline to treat urinary tract infections and certain medical conditions like the Rocky Mountain spotted fever. As far as dosing goes, the guidelines state that dogs should be given 2mg to 5mg of the drug, per pound of body weight every 12 hours or 24 hours. However the dosage and duration of treatment depend upon the type of infection your dog is suffering from. And although it isn’t necessary to give t...

My husband just accidentally gave our dog tussigon and tramadol at the same time. Should I be concerned? ## I wish I had an answer for you and everyone else that posts questions about their pets. However, human and animal physiology can be quite different, thus my knowledge and/or what I can research for someone about the effects of given medications and their uses in humans, may not apply to your dog. I am always happy to help, if I can, just like others that frequent this website, but it would be remiss of anyone to do so, without knowing the proper information to give you. Therefore, I must advise you to call your veterinarian and ask. How is your furry friend doing?
