Hello, and thanks for your question. I can't say for sure, but your oncologist may have been referring to ondansetron, which is often used for controlling nausea in animals undergoing chemotherapy. Hope this helps.

I took my cat to the vet again for his vestibular syndrome. He was prescribed Cerenia and Mirtapazine, as I had told the vet that he is not eating well and has trouble with balance (wobbly rear gait). Do either of these medications improve his appeti
Thanks for using Boop by Petco. I'm sorry to hear Katniss has been ill. Cerenia is an anti-nausea medication. Animals with vestibular disease often feel "motion sick" - having something similar to vertigo. So this is great for that. It also helps settle the stomach which helps with appetite. Mirtazapine is a true appetite stimulant. Even with both of these, the balance apparatus is very mad and so falling over may still happen. I recommend bringing slightly warmed wet food to his face a few times daily to encourage eating. If no improvement in the vestibular signs within a week, I recommend a CT scan of the head to look for inner ear infection or, heaven forbid, a tumor. Vaseline is ok for paw pads, though olive oil or coconut oil is even better. To be honest, most cracked paw pads are not painful and do not need treatment. I'd recommend an over the counter laxatone product for the hair balls, along with frequent brushing. Omega 3 fatty acid supplements can help with the

Hello, My vet recently prescribed Cerenia in tablet form for my cat, Penny. She's had bad episodes of hypersalivation during car rides and in preparation for our next trip, the vet suggests giving her this medication, I am wondering if this is a
Side effects in Cerenia are rare, and it is safe to give Penny the tablet form. The injectable form is typically reserved for animals who are vomiting so much they cannot keep down a tablet. I would agree with your vet's advice :-)

What can I give my 3 yr old cat for nausea. He has been licking his lips moving slow I took him to the vet yesterday, the blood work, urine,stool all are ok, but he still doesn't feel good
The best anti-nausea medications are prescription, and I always prefer to use injectible anti-nausea medications because they work faster and better. My favorite anti-nausea medication for cats is Cerenia ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952775 ). I would recommend contacting your veterinarian to let them know that Joey is still nauseated and see what medication they would recommend. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Joey feels better soon. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

what can i give my cat for mild pancreatitis? My vet wants to give him pepcid ac and another medicine that starts with a "C" not sure of the name I haven't picked it up from vet yet. He is very difficult to take medicine even the vet had a hard time.
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Buddy! The medication is likely cerenia, which is an anti-nausea medication. Unfortunately there are pills or liquid formulations of medication. Cerenia and pepcid come in injectable form. The Vet can give the first dose and maybe get the pepcid and cerenia compounded in to a liquid form. If you think you can squirt liquid medications in him then I would ask to get that form. Or consider hospitalizing for injectables. I hope this helps and i wish Buddy a speedy recovery!
