Hi Everyone, I've been getting my greyhound's Leflunomide refilled at the pharmacy at Angell Memorial. I give them my credit card; they mail me the refill....
I am wondering the same thing. My vet orders it from Angell sent to them. She claims it is cheaper that way but then I must make a separate trip to the vet...
Hi Mary Ann, I just called in my refill. For 360 tablets, I'm paying 309.40, which inlcudes a $7 shipping charge for priority mail, so that works out to...
We just back from UT Vet Hospital and they put her a pill she takes once a day called cyclosporine 100 mg. Has anybody used this medicine? They said that the...
Well, my dog Hugo, who weighed between 12 and 14 pounds, took 50 mg twice a day and it was too high. 25 mg a day was too little and he settled in at 35 mg...
she is only taken 1 pill a day. how do you get your dog to take the pill, i tried wrapping in cheese and she just ate the cheese? ... From: Alex Eisemann...
... pill, i tried wrapping in cheese and she just ate the cheese? ... mouth worked very well for me good luck so sorry to hear your dog has gme.but with...
Tammy, Once a day is incorrect. The levels drop far too low during hours 13 to 24. This is a serious indication that your vet really may not be qualified to ...
As we've said before, you really have to contact Dr. Sisson in Boston, who will work with you for free and get your dog (it is Tinker, right?) the proper care...
Tammy, Max has 3 pills he takes in the morning and 2 at night, Cyclosporine is in both. He is on a total of 100 mg per day and weighs 18 pounds, cute little...
Hi, If you do a search online you can find mail order drug companies out these that sell some of these meds at discounted prices. My dog Hunter was on...
Hi Everyone, On July 1st Dino went his first day without Pred. This month he starts and every other day schedule. Well wouldn't you know, he vomited and...
Hi All, Happy 4th! Remy has been doing alright. I recently took him to a holistic vet and he seemed to improve markedly. Yesterday, though, I noticed as he was...
Hi Donna, Â I just wanted to share with you that my dog Frida, had a luxated patella that needed urgent attention during her GME relapse. She barely walked. I...
Hi Donna, A suggestion on Dinos teeth. Do you scale his teeth? If you don't you might ask someone at the vets office to do them for you. Have them scaled and...
Vanessa, WOW! this is almost exactly what happened to Dino except I had just reduced his Pred. Dr Sisson told me that vomiting is not a sign of GME relapse...
Thanks Jill, That helps alot. Dr Sisson had recommened Dino's dental because his teeth are so bad and he's had a salivary gland infection. Being he's so immune...
Cindy, Congratulations on Hunter! Med free, amazing! Dino is still on cytarabine and leuflonmide and has a long time to go on them. I just worried about the...
Donna, I also agree that surgery while on meds may be the better choice than waiting until he's pred free because it would help check any inflammation ...
Oh, I see he's already pred free. Then I still think surgery when he has the most meds in him is better than waiting until he has less for the same reason. ...
Thanks Alex, He actually won't be Pred free until the end of the month. He just started his every other day schedule on the 1st. It's a quandry. I could always...
Vanessa, This may be a little bit of a touchy subject. I know that as Dr. Sisson's colleague, Dr. Farabaugh probably agrees with his overall approach and ...
I wouldn't design a short-term steroid therapy. That's definitely a Sisson call and I doubt he'd go for it. Antibiotics, though, a must and he'd agree, I'm...
I can't address anything except the pill. Carleigh seemed to always know when a pill was in a treat and somehow always ate the treat and spit out the pill....
There's also something with the unfortuate name of a "pill gun." You put the pill in it, stick it in the mouth and pull the "trigger." It shoots the pill to...
Thanks again, Alex. I've called my vet and have an appt for Tueday. He's talked to Dr Sisson before so I'm sure they'll come up with a plan. This way it will...
We didn't get Zefi's Leflunimide levels back yet but I think we will be going to the every other day pred schedule soon. Sorry I can't give you any advice. I...
