tacrolimus canine

I have a 5 yr old rescue long haired chi mix that has neurogenic KCS (dry eye) adopted 10/2011. We've gone thru the university vet school ophthamology treatments (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, and pilocarpine drops) since 10/11 with no response. We are currently treating with gels, drops, and ointments throughout the day and antibiotic ointment as needed. The next step appears to be having his eye removed. Has anyone had this done?

i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further

The specialist reviewed all of the options with us - cyclosporine, pilocarpine or tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said that very rarely has she seen any dog respond to cyclosporine after not responding to tacrolimus. She also said that because our dog doesn't have a dry, goopy nose, that pilocarpine wouldn't be a first choice. She recommended a mix of tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said sirolimus is new. I have not been able to find anything about this drug on the internet.

His cretanine is almost 1.4 or around. My question is that should he continue his TACROLIMUS tablets or should switch to some other tablets which are safe for kidneys? Secondly , in my sorrounding there is an opinion that lowering the TACROLIMUS dose also let the liver enzymes to increase? Do you favour such opinions as my father has lowered his tacrolimus dose to keep his kidneys safe? Sir ,will wait for your kind reply. Thanks.

s hard to perform my job or other daily tasks when my eyelids are so inflamed. I guess steroids are the only option until they develop something better. Is Tacrolimus a promising nonsteroidal option?

The treatments of this condition are application of topical corticosteroids (betamethasone, clobatesol, flucinolone) which will reduce the inflammatory process. Topical immunomodulators like pimecrolimus and tacrolimus can be used in severe conditions. I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.

I just to ask about the human canine tooth. Since it is the longest tooth, how long it takes to extract this?My canine was abscessed for almost a month. What are the veins connected to canine tooth? Since it is the longest, does it needs more anesthesia than other tooth? Need some of your educated answers.

Hormonal contraceptives such as the pill and the patch may increase the blood level of tacrolimus. Tacrolimus may also reduce the effectiveness of these hormonal contraceptives. For this reason women who could get pregnant should ideally use a non-hormonal method of contraception, eg condoms, to prevent pregnancy while taking this medicine. Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

there are prograf assistance programs that the company offers. If this is not feasible than using other cheaper medications such as verapamil for example for HTN for example will alllow much lower doses of prograf to be used (it delays metabolism of the medication) and thus it comes out cheaper.

AS I HAVE SUFFERED BREATHLESSNESS AND WALKING PROBLEMS,I HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF TACROLIMUS AND PUT ON NEORAL-YET THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN MY CONDITION.IS THERE ANY OTHER ANTI REJECTION DRUG THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND (I HAVE HAD A LIVER TRANSPLANT RECENTLY)? IN YOUR EXPERIENCE,CAN MY SITUATION BE IMPROVED?THANKS.

There is quite a bit of gunk built up in between the permanent canine (fully erupted) and baby canine. Every bit of research I have done online suggests removal- but she told me that the vet she takes her dog to said that it was fine to leave them.

Presently, I have an infected canine tooth. I went to a new dentist apx. 10 days ago and was told it needed to be extracted. The dentist first prescribed amoxicillin for the infection. It has been over ten days, and I have pain and swelling in my lower cheek. Upon calling my dentist, I asked for a stronger antibotic (hence I have a tolerence of amoxicillin due to years of usage) he denied and let me know I needed to have tooth immediately extracted or the infection would spread.

i would be extremely cautious about using it until more data is available especially since its purported effects on tacrolimus and cyclosporine metabolism are extreme. i am quite confident that there will be clinical trials coming down the road extremely soon.

This may be Canine Acne or an allergy. Allergies would be to something her chin comes into contact with daily such as a rubber ball, favorite plastic toy, plastic food or water dish. Using either ceramic or glass food and water bowls and removing plastic and rubber toys would help to eliminate a contact chin allergy. For Canine Acne, we often recommend daily cleaning of the chin lesions gently with betadine, rinsing well with water, pat dry and swab 2-3 times a day with rubbing alcohol.

There is a human Parvovirus known commonly as Fifth Disease, but it has no relationship to Canine Parvovirus. Canine Parvovirus does not seem to be contagious to humans and cleaning your house with dilute bleach should remove the infection from your home as Ireneo has described above, but it is imperative to check with your Pediatrician and Infectious Disease Doctor at the hospital where your child is currently being treated.

My son is 11 and only just got his two first teeth which happen to be his fangs, every baby is different

I just had my 6 month old Chihuahua mix in for the removal of 2 incisors that erupted straight out vs. down, and a milk tooth canine which didn't fall out. X-rays were taken, and it showed her adult canine teeth under the gums. My vet thinks the incisors prevented their coming in, and feels they may descend now that there is room. My concern is what if they don't?
