Is it advisable to give atropine as an antidote when given tick bath with diclorvos?
Atropine is not necessary when you do not overdose your dog with dichlorvos (ie stick to the instructions of dilution). However it may be safer to use a commercially available tick spot-on or pyrethrin to fight ticks.

So my elderly dog takes Theo 24 ER 200 mg once daily for chronic bronchitis (she’s a retired sled dog from Nome Alaska) is there any problem with giving her the “human” version vs the vet office version? The cost difference is $300.00 per month vs 1
Hello. For the most part, veterinary drugs are equivalent to the human version of the same drug & visa versa. If your vet has no objections, he should readily write you a prescription so you can purchase the medication at any pharmacy you wish to use. Just for your information, the product you are displaying is a human medication & not specifically for dogs. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My bullmastiff was diagnosed with a cornea scratch 1 week ago. She came home with tobra and atropine drops. We stopped the tobra today since it said for 1 week. Still on the atropine which I'm not excited about but she is still really spasming her ey
Atropine, when used in the eye, relaxes the ciliary body, the muscle that controls pupil size. In this way, it often helps to treat the pain associated with corneal abrasions or corneal ulcers. It does not cause the eyelid to spasm. What you are seeing is called blepharospasm, and it's a response to ocular pain. I would say that if Ripley is having blepharospasm at this point, it indicates to me that there is still pain associated with the initial abrasion. Typically we treat corneal injuries such as she has until we have rechecked them and are sure that they have completely resolved. I would recommend getting her back on the tobramycin and continuing the atropine until you are able to get her checked; preferably Friday or over the weekend.

Hopefully it is the same medication, although there have been lawsuits about mislabeled and counterfeit medications with online pharmacies. Also, you do need a prescription from your veterinarian in order to purchase these products. I would recommend visiting with your veterinarian, as there is a possibility they may price match for you. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

What can I buy over the counter for atopy for a dog?
Some OTC antihistamines (diphenhydramine, loratidine, chlorpheniramine, etc.) may provide relief. Prescription drugs, such as Atopica or Apoquel, may be more effective. These last two would need to be dispensed by your veterinarian. Never medicate your pet without the advice of your vet.
