What is the percentage of dogs that have experienced renal injury from taking Carprofen and Benazepril daily. My 85lb Golden/Lab mix, Buddy, has been using Carprofen for 5 years due to arthritic pain. Recently our Vet after extensive testing has dete
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Buddy. I have used these medications together in dogs before when necessary. That being said, kidney values, blood pressure and the amount of protein in the urine needs to be closely monitored. I typically will recheck a blood pressure reading within the first week of starting benazapril. Then I will follow up by taking a blood sample several weeks later. Kidney values need followed not only for elevations above normal, but also trends upwards that are still in the normal range. With close monitoring, problems can be identified early and doses or medications can be changed if needed. I hope this information helps!

My 6 lb yorkie ate 5 mg Benazepril that was intended for my bison who is 25 pounds. Will that hurt her?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. At the high end of the dose range for Benazepril, Maui's dose would be about 13.6mg so she has not had a toxic dose. You may see symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, etc. If you see these symptoms, I would get her in to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Otherwise, just keep monitoring her for the time being. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

My dog is in CHF and on lasiks and benzapril. Can she take Apoquel or will it be detrimental due to suppressing the immune system?
There is not a problem giving Apoquel at the same time as Lasix and benazepril. While long term usage of Apoquel can suppress the immune system in my opinion there wouldn't be any increased risk for immune suppression with concurrent heart disease. It would be a good idea to address these concerns with your vet as well.

can lasinopril replace elanapril ....? or what human drug is the same as elanipril??
Enalapril is the generic form of this medication and it is the same as the enalapril used in humans. Lasinopril is a similar drug, is in the same class, and has a similar mode of action. Ofterntimes it is doctor preference which one is prescribed but occasionally there are reasons to choose one over the other. Enalapril is more commonly used in veterinary medicine. So yes, you could potentially switch to lasinopril but I would definitely speak with the prescribing veterinarian first to make sure there are no specific reasons to avoid it. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.
