My diabetic cat is on proving insulin which is expensive. Is there an otc human equivalent insulin?
I’m assuming you meant ProZinc insulin and if so there is unfortunately not a cheaper alternative. While less expensive human insulin can on rare occasions be used successfully in cats it usually does not provide good control of diabetes. You also need to start over with dosing and frequent monitoring when switching from one insulin to another which would increase cost. It’s probably best to stick with ProZinc if Mikey is well regulated.

My cat is diabetic, currently on 7 units so vetsulin 2x daily with a bs of 600+, my vet doesn't seem to know what else to do. Any suggestions?
I found that in cats often Vetsulin is not able to correct Insulin levels long term and that such cats may do better with Prozinc Insulin. This is something you may want to discuss with your veterinarian. Another problem that often keeps cats from regulating is when they have tartar, gingivitis and bad teeth. In that case a dental cleaning often works wonders. This will also reduce stress from dental pain.

Do you provide prescriptions for breeders and pet owners or is this service just for advice?
Unfortunately, we cannot (legally and ethically) advise medication without having an established patient-doctor relationship. It is also dangerous for us to advise medication without examining the animal and fully understanding their condition and medical history. The only place to get a prescription is through a veterinary clinic. However, some vets may be comfortable writing prescriptions for well-established clients that they trust know the conditions they are treating for. This service is strictly for advice only. I hope that helps and all is well with Onna.

Hi one of our dog is sick and my father went to the vet earlier to have her checked. He bought the prescribe medicine the problem is we don't understand how to prepare the medicine. Please advise. I'll be sending the image of the front and back of th
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).

I would like to get my dog evaluated to see if she would be eligible to be prescribed Proin, the medication that tightens the bladder sphincter muscle. Is Petco able to assist?
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Brittany's troubles. I am not sure if Petco has full veterinary services, as that is the appropriate avenue for eventually prescribing proin. When I see a dog for urinary incontinence issues, I start with a full blood and urine panel and a culture of the urine to rule out infections or any other health issues. I also will check the urinary bladder with an ultrasound and take a few xrays to make sure we don't have bladder or kidney stones, or cancer of some kind causing the incontinence. Once I've ruled out any other causes, and I know I need to use proin, I check a blood pressure to make sure that's normal too (because proin can cause side effecrs with that). I'll start a patient on the recommended dose and then recheck to make sure it's working. A couple weela after starting I'll usually check blood pressure, and then once more 4-6 weeks out. At that time I'll often check a mini panel and just double check some blood values. If all is well, i wi
