Is it safe to give my dog buprenorphine and Cosequin together?

Hi there. In general, there is no reason that prednisone can't be given with Cosequin DS. As long as the prednisone was prescribed by your veterinarian and you're giving it according to his/her instructions, this should be fine. :)

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are no known negative interactions to giving those two medications together. If you are concerned, or notice any possible negative side effects, I would recommend reaching out to your regular veterinarian for further customized advice for your pet.

Yes, it is safe to give gabapentin with Metacam and the joint supplement. Gabapentin is a drug that affects the nerves in the brain that are involved with the pain response. It can take up to three weeks before the body is used to the gabapentin and is not affected by drowsiness. The drowsiness is not something you have to worry about, it will go away. Be patient, it will take at least a week , up to three weeks.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Normally, it is safe to administer these medications together. However, I do not recommend that you administer any medications if they have not been prescribed by a veterinarian as some of these medications can cause side effects and pre-screening bloodwork should be performed. Good luck and have a good night!

Many pets are on Cosequin long term to help support their joints, and most of them do well on it. See the link below for more information on potential side effects https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951424 You can speak to your vet about what supplement(s) are appropriate for Oscar's particular condition and how long he should be on them.

Cosequin is simply a supplement and is completely safe to give at any age. I always tell my clients, that it won't hurt, but it also might not have any benefit, so it's completely up to you. If you feel like you see a benefit, then by all means, give it as much as you want (within guidelines on the label). I hope that helps.

Adequan is safe to use with these drugs. It is not an NSAID, it is an injection of polysulfated glycosaminoglycan and has no known drug interactions. Here is more info: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1800
