My dog has been on atopica for 4 weeks now last weekend she started vomiting an hour after her pills my vet told me to give her zitac half twice a day It worked for a couple of days but she has started again Is there a way to give her the zitac to
The half-life of Zitac in dogs is a little over and hour, so giving the Zitac between 30 and 60 minutes prior to the Atopica may help reduce the nausea and vomiting. Anecdotally, giving the Atopica with a small amount of food or freezing the pill for 30-60 minutes before giving it, have been reported to reduce the nausea side effects. You may also want to speak to your veterinarian about some of the newer H-2 blockers such as ranitidine or famotidine which may be more effective at preventing nausea.

Is there anyone who knows if is a replacement or alternative medicine for vetoryl 30 mg. This medicine is making my dog very sick so I decided to stop it, As soon as I dld that I can tell she has more energy she eats better she is back been herself.
Vetoryl (trilostane) is the best medication for managing Cushing's disease, but I'm sorry to hear that Lacy has not been tolerating it well. I have anecdotally heard of some vets using a variety of supplements for managing Cushing's disease signs, but these supplements will not ultimately decrease the cortisol production by the adrenal glands and generally seem ineffective. I don't know how long Lacy was receiving Vetoryl, but some dogs can initially become lethargic, vomit, have diarrhea, or a decreased appetite. Fortunately, these signs typically resolve after a few days to a few weeks on the medication. It may be worth discussing a temporary dose adjustment with Lacy's vet to see if she tolerates a lower dose better before gradually increasing to her 30mg dose. Some dogs also benefit from supportive measures (anti nausea medications, bland diets, etc.) in the first few days to weeks of treatment. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
