I was on benazapril for hbp for quite a while, developed a slight dry scratchy cough my doctor described as benazepril cough.

It really depends on why your vet put her on Benazepril? Is it for diagnosed high blood pressure - or is it to help the kidneys function better through increased blood flow?
Benazepril is a good drug for either, but if it is merely to help the kidneys (in other words, if your dog does not already have high blood pressure), then extreme caution is needed.
tony thanks for your response the benazepril is to treat the hypertension and to reduce protein loss through the kidneys the amlodipine also for hypertension and control her plood pressure which was elevated the plavix is to reduce the chance of blood clots i also give her fish oil and give her chopped green cabbage with meals , i have started to wake up and give her a meal at 2;00 am and seems to have stopped the vomiting of bile . when karly was diagnosed in oct of 2015 she weighed 9.
I am 75. I take 75 mg of atenolol and 40 mg of benazepril hcl every day. I had an echo stress test (speed increases every two minutes) and at 6 minutes my blood pressure starting falling so the test was stopped and the doctor said sometimes with blood pressure medicine that happens. He said my heart was fine. I had a by-pass 12 years ago. So do I have to worry?
If the Natural Path Herbal Company products are not available to you than please only purchase veterinary versions for the Three Seeds Combination and the Minor Buplerum. The human versions of these herbal formulas are slightly different and aren't as effective in cats. The prescription medication: Benazepril may also be beneficial for severe kidney disease.
Another medication that may help for either stage of feline kidney disease is Azodyl, which is available by prescription.
I took lantus throughout treatment. However, my doctor pulled me off metformin because it sometimes messes with ALT levels, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of how liver enzymes respond to tx. I ate so little during tx, and a lot of it was ice cream. Nevertheless, for some reason - despite all the sugar in ice cream - my A1c was better during tx than it ever was before or after.
58 year old female with long-standing hypertension (30 mg Benazepril daily). Wt, chol, lipids, glucose, etc. all good. Last year, my primary referred me to a Cardio for a 24 hour Holter for palpitations. The cardiologists' comment on the ECG was "non specific ST and T wave changes."

Most referral or veterinary teaching hospitals , or veterinary schools have veterinary opthalmolgists. Ask your vet for a referral to one in your area. Don't be afraid, just explain to him that you do not want to happen with your other pug to happen to her. If are still uncomfortable with this you can search your self online at: American College of Veterinary Opthalmologists, or the American Society of Veterinary Opthalmologists (http://www.asvo.org/). Good Luck!

It has been shown that veterinary acupuncture in conjunction with anti-inflammatories (steroids) and analgesics (tramadol and others) is highly effective and may be more helpful than anti-inflammatories and analgesics alone. If surgery is not recommended, or if you choose not to have surgery performed, than acupuncture is worth a try.
My readings have been like 156/85 and as high as 167/90. I have been on Benazepril since May. I have felt better ever since taking the medicine no doubt. Not one single headache and I generally feel better. My blood pressure had went down a little on my last vist. It was about 148/84. The doctor still saw the need to put me on another medication, so now im taking Benazepril and Amlodipine. And at times checking my BP myself it has been down to like 127/80.
Im only 24 and thats what worries me.
The reason may be infection, or something more serious, and veterinary exam is needed to see what the swellings are. An allergic reaction is unlikely, since allergic reactions usually cause a swollen face/muzzle or hives. As long as he is eating, drinking and breathing normally, then it can probably wait until Monday, when your regular veterinarian is open. You can also look online for low cost veterinary clinics in your area.
nothing much is being said in forums dedicated to veterinarians at this time. Also, I have personally contacted a toxicologist, a veterinary internist, a veterinary oncologist and a veterinary nutritionist and none of them have given me any evidence that this should be a concern.
The best source of information about your pet's nutrition and its affect on the pet is your veterinarian.
Dogs with fleas or allergies commonly scratch and traumatize themselves, creating a secondary bacterial skin infection/rash that makes the itch worse, and this is something that needs veterinary care. If skin infection is present, it is treated with antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and mild antibacterial shampoos.
Whether he has bloat or the other problem that I suspect, which is disk disease (spinal disease) he would require veterinary attention since they are both very serious and may require medications or other therapies, such as surgery.
I don't know where you are writing from but in the States you could apply at most veterinary offices or online for a Care Credit Card. which is a low to no interest credit card that can only be used for medical, dental, or veterinary bills.
the doctor gave u very good advice..u must seek veterinary care for ur pet......if ppl cannot afford medical care for their animals when they get them then perhaps they should not get the animal.Pet peeve of mine-my animal is sick and i can't afford to treat it!grrrr.!
Good Lord! That is a really BAD infestation, and your dog needs veterinary assistance to get of them. Your dog is probably malnourished with that amount of worms, so please don't wait. This is not a problem for an over-the-counter treatment.
Hi, have you taken a veterinary drug?
I have personally seen very positive results with adjunctive holistic veterinary medicine for kidney disease. Please research holistic veterinary medicine websites, such as the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association website, Chi Institute and others.
I know what I would do if I were you. I would put everything I have into a consultation with a veterinary nutritionist -if you possibly can, And work out a home-cooked diet based on advice from him/her. Some intensive research online may help...
It will be hard work I am sure and may be confusing sometimes, but I think that is the way I would go.
Sorry to project my own opinions....
Aluminum hydroxide (ALOH) is currently recommended by Board Certified Veterinary Internists at the University of Davis, veterinary hospital as the product of choice to use in pets to effectively bind and eliminate excess phosphorus from the body. It has effectively replaced Epikacin for this purpose.
Epikacin, is an old Calcium based product, formerly used to bind excess phosphorus and help eliminate it from the body, in pets with kidney failure.
Okay. That is actually very bad veterinary practice. Essentially, the vet has prescribed an antibiotic (a medication that will further harm and/or stress the kidneys) without knowing whether it is the appropriate antibiotic to treat the UTI. AND ... the UTI is only suspected, because without a culture and sensitivity test, they can't know.
The point is, if there is no UTI, then giving the antibiotic is pointless - and will definitely do more harm than good.
