My vet has recommended me to give eprex 2000 iu injection 0.1 ml to him every 4th day . he is severally anemic because of CKD . His creatinine has become very high now . So as this injection is very expensive in my country and it's 0.5 ml in a inject
This is from the manufacturer's website with regards to storing Eprex: Store at 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze or shake. This temperature range should be closely maintained until administration to the patient. Store in original package in order to protect from light. When the product is about to be used, it may be removed from the refrigerator and stored at room temperature (below 25°C) for a maximum single period of seven days. So, if you keep it refrigerated at 2-8C even after opened, it should be OK to use. You could always call the manufacturer (phone number should be on the packaging) to get better council.

Ask your veterinarian to write a prescription for the generic form of Buprenex which is buprenorphine. Contact local pharmacies in big stores (WalMart Target, Costco, etc) that may offer more affordable pricing. Other options include Wedgewood Pharmacy ( https://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com/ ) or Diamondback Drugs ( http://www.diamondbackdrugs.com/ ). These are compounding pharmacies. Discuss other options with your veterinarian. He or she may have a preferred vendor or different options than the ones above.

Can a vet refuse to give you a prescription? My dog is on epiphen, which states on the bottle is NOT to be stopped abruptly. However, when I phoned for a repeat prescription today, was told it would not be issued until samples were taken from my dog!
Yes, veterinarians can refuse to refill prescriptions. I realize that this can be frustrating, but some medications can have side effects or cause organ damage, requiring regular monitoring, often in the form of blood tests. Epiphen (phenobarbital), for example, can greatly impact the liver and the levels of medication within the bloodstream must be monitored to assure that the medication stays at a safe and effective therapeutic level. In the US, we also must have examined a pet within the past 12 months in order to legally prescribe any medication - including some flea and tick preventions. I don't know what regulations may exist in the UK. It may be worth another call to your vet to determine the reasons behind the refusal to refill the medication. I hope this helps to clarify the situation and that everything gets worked out for Buckley!

Hi. I’m terribly sorry to bother you but I’m currently so overwhelmed the bridge is looking appealing.My cat has CKD/CHF. ER vet said last week he’s anemic (13) and needs a transfusion, which he may or may not survive because it effects the heart.Sai
Using EPO is definitely an option since your cat is so anemic. Over time, some cats will develop resistance but I have had good success with using EPO. Talk to your vet about the exact protocol and if he/she thinks it is an appropriate option for your cat. I am not sure of his kidney values but it definitely might be the best option to improve his anemia and increase his quality of life.

I have a cat with CKD. He also has anemia and was prescribed darbepoetin. He weights 4kg and I was told to give him 4mcg twice a week. That is a total of 8mcg a week which seems a little too much compared with the guidelines I was able to find on the
Hi and thank you for using Boop by Petco this afternoon. Unfortunately, I cannot provide dosage or dosing information for drugs over the internet for legal reasons. If your veterinarian has prescribed Rysiek to take a certain amount, then I would adhere to your vet's directions. However, if you have specific questions or concerns about the dosing, you may wish to call and discuss this directly with your veterinarian. Best wishes to you and Rysiek!
