Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn I usually use 250 mg of Cipro for a 60-70 pound dog. However, the side effects of the Cipro should have subsided by now. Since the problem with your dog began as a vomiting issue did any of the vets discuss performing endoscopy, a barium study, or special dietary regiman? Did they discuss the possibility of food allergy gastritis? Did they mention giving your dog a medication called Celexa or Reglan, (or other medication that are anti-nausea and vomiting) medications?

Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar n tn I'm a veterinary nurse and on my feet all day. What healthy snacks can I have to keep me going throughout The day?
Avatar n tn t say where you live, but if I were you I would look into any veterinary colleges in your state. They have state of the art equipment when it comes to diagnostics and even though veterinary students work on the animals, they are just inches away from graduating and they work under the close supervision of their professors, who are veterinary professors and doctors themselves. As far as payment goes, look into Care Credit.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Dear Robino54, Your post includes several elements about which I would like to comment. Pica, eating nonfood items, is a common complaint in dogs and occurs for a variety ofr reasons, and also at times for no discernable reason. Do your best to prevent it. That said it is not uncommon for kidne disease patients to be inappetant. Treating the causes when possible will be more effective than simply trying to stimulate appetite. See further detail below.
Avatar f tn 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!
