My 11 y/o male cat is taking 12.5 mg of Felimazole a day and now is lethargic, no appetite, but drinks water... Too high of dose possibly?? He seemed fine until a few days ago..
My 17 yr old cat has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. she was started on Methimazole chew treats and now refuses to eat them. I switched to the twist a dose ear Methimazole but if I give that to her daily like the vet suggested, all she does is sleep day and night. It seems to knock her out right after I apply it to her ear. then she starts vomiting her food. I am beginning to think we would be better off going with the radioactive iodine thing. what do you think?
My dog takes thyro tabs canine 0.2 mg once a day in the morning. I inadvertently gave him an extra dose in the evening. Should I be worried about overdose?
I have a 12 that was diagnosed with the hyperthyroidism a month ago tha he seemed better for about two weeks and then he started throwing up again & not wanting to eat so I went back to the vet and he now has pancreatitis too! The doctor said I should change his food and I bought some of the other food but he won't eat it so I gave him the other food he ste very little & he is very lethargic, pupils are dilated should I stop giving him the methimazole? He is usually very playful
My dog has thyroid and is currently consuming medicine thyronorm 100mcg twice a day. I have attached his March 2019 and September 2019 thyroid reports. Could you please tell me if it's improving or not? As per my current vet, it's improving and has aksed me to continue the dose. My family doctor thinks the dose is too high. My dog weighs between 35-40kgs and is a labrador.
Can tony take a lysine supplement with his other meds:amlodipine besylate, methimazole, tumil K potassium supplement and mirtazapine appetite stimulant? He also eats a kidney diet and I wonder if the powder lysine supplement may flavor the food and make him like it better? Thanks!!
I am unable to get my cat's prescription of Enalapril 2.5Mg refilled until Tuesday. He is taking 1 pill in the AM and half a pill at night. I gave him half a pill this AM as that's all I had left. So he will not be able to take any tonight, tomorrow or Monday. Should I be worried about him going without the drug for that long? Thanks for any help. I attached 3 pics of him just for your own amusement :)
Hi tony is on a tumil K supplement. One tablet in the morning and one in evening. My vet clinic is out of stock and backordered on the tablets so they’ve given me a renal k powder instead. Will this be just as effective as the tablets? Thank u
My 14 year old Male cat is diagnosed hyperthyroid. We've been treating him with medication, and our vet raised the dose, but he's started shedding excessively again. He has an appointment to check his T4 levels in 2 weeks. What are our options?
Hello! Per an old vet, I am giving my cat 1/4 a 10mg tab of famotidine daily. Unfortunately, it seems as though it runs out before the 24 hrs and around 3-4 in the morning, she is getting reflux (not all days, but some). Is it possible to give her 1/4 tab in the AM and then again in the PM, to ensure we do not have the gaps? I know I have to take my acid reducer twice a day, but I wanted to ask, and they are 2 hours away. Thank you!
Is there any medication like tri heart plus thats around the same price point i need to get my dogs their medication and not even my vet is being helpful since they only want to sell me the Heartgard even tho i've told them i can not afford that medication at the time they do not wanna give me the generic and i need it asap since they are being potty trained outdoors.
17 yr, 11.8 lb, cat has kidney dysfnct. On 1/24 she showed symptoms of inner ear prob or vestibular. My vet prescribed Cerenia but it can only be given 1x in 24 hrs and it wears off at about 12 hrs. So, vet added half a tab of meclizine to her regimen, but it seems like it makes her restless(?) Gets up and moves from sleeping place to place every 30m or so. Is it ok to mix the 2 drugs? Where can I look for effects of meclizine on cats. Symptoms are head tilt, falls, staggers. Appetite is fair.
