Why is my dog on ketoconazole not eating? Is it a side effect?

Hi, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Myla, it sounds like she is having a bad time. The hairloss can occur from both ringworm and Demodex. Lethargy and loss of appetite could be a possible side effect of nexgard or can also be side effects of any antibiotic and antifungal medications she may be on. As long as she is relatively alert and active, then I would contact her regular vet in the morning to discuss your concerns. If she is severely lethargic, hasn't eaten at all in more than 12 hours or showing other signs of illness then I recommend taking her to an emergency vet tonight to have her checked out. I hope she's feeling better soon.

While vetoryl can cause anorexia, this should be differentiated from an early hypoadrenocortical crisis by measurement of serum electrolyte concentrations and performance of an ACTH stimulation test. I would have Rissa seen by a vet right away to have this done.

It could be a side effect or it could indicate the fluid is still in his chest. I recommend to call his veterinarian who can advise you best. They may want to examine Frodo again or they may recommend a medication adjustment or even something to help the stomach. I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Apoquel is a mediation that reduces skin inflammation and excessive skin itchiness. It is considered as a very safe medication with few side effects. Apoquel does not have any effect on dog's appetite. If Rocco's appetite is down, he should be checked for fever, infection, abdominal pain, liver and kidney diseases. Please, get in touch with your local vets to clarify what is Rocco's main problem and to make diagnostic and treatment plan for him.

Gastrointestinal upset and a decrease in appetite can be a side effect of Apoquel but it is not very common. Often the symptoms will improve after a few days. As long as Remy is not vomiting I’d continue the medication and contact your vet to let them know once they’re open.

I'm so sorry to hear that Zoey is not feeling well. I would certainly recommend starting with having your veterinarian examine her and check some blood work. Phenobarbital can affect the internal organs (especially the liver), so we should make sure that is not an issue with Zoey. If all that is normal, then I would discuss anti-nausea and appetite stimulation medications with your veterinarian. There are a few over the counter (OTC) and prescription options that may help make Zoey feel better. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that she feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

No, loss of appetite is not a side effect of lasix. I'm not sure what the vet gave Pheobe antibiotics, you need to ask the vet why they were given. If she's not eating in the morning, take her back into the vet.
