Mirtazapine is safe to use with amlodipine. Mirtazapine at high doses could potentially decrease blood pressure, but at typically prescribed doses, it is safe to give with amlodipine. Your vet may want to monitor blood pressure a few days after starting the mirtazapine just to be sure its all looking good. Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

If a UTI has been ruled out by urine culture, then protein losing nephropathy can be suspected as the cause, and an ACEI such as enalapril or benazepril can be used. I believe there is a newer medication on the US market for this purpose in dogs, but I can't remember it now! I just learned about it at a lecture a few months ago. I don't typically treat borderline high BP, but if the PLN is real then the ACEI will certain help lower the BP to decrease protein loss. Beta blockers would be the next step, but I haven't needed to use them personally. Here is an article you may find helpful on canine hypertension: https://www.dvm360.com/view/diagnosing-and-treating-hypertension-proceedings-0 And another for PLN: https://www.dvm360.com/view/protein-losing-nephropathy-proceedings

There are several different medications that can be used to treat blood pressure or heart disease as they do not always go together. A range of medications can include an ace inhibitor (enalapril, benazepril), a diuretic (furosemide), and Vetmedin if having heart failure.

We often treat a pet symptomatically before test results are available to us. I can only assume that your vet had enough evidence to suggest that Dee was hypertensive, warranting the use of Sildanefil, and also had signs of bronchospasms or breathing difficulty, warranting the use of Theophylline. I am unsure of your pets clinical signs to confirm this, but this would be a logical explanation. But ultimately if you want to 100% know why these medications were prescribed then it would not be considered rude or unheard of to ask your vet their logic behind this decision. It is always best to hear the information from the source rather than speculation from an outside source.
