Substitute for rimadylQ: My spayed female dog, 10 years old,has lately been yelping prior to going out to urinate. i recently took her to her vet and brought a urine sample. urine was screened and came back negative. this yelping does occur mostly when she first wakes. vet examined her and concluded she may have arthritis. vet recommended rimadyl,75mg,twice a day for 14 days and to go back if no adverse to meds and will prescribe month supply. i would like to know if there is something else that can be given that would not have the risk of liver complications? would a asprin daily do the trick? A: You could try low doses of aspirin at 5 mg per pound once to twice daily with food(not tylenol) stop if any digestive side effects. you also could try glucosamine product like super joint enhancer from 1800petmeds as well as extra antoxidant nutrients like vitamin e at 400iu daily and vitamin c in form of ester c at 1000 mg twice daily

Overdose my l2 lb. dog on topspot plusQ: I used topspot plus and it seemed to work for about 2 weeks. he is back to scratching and licking himself and i have found a few fleas on him. what is the next step i should take to get rid of these bugs. i'm not sure if they are in my house bit it is driving me crazy thinking that maybe they are. i was told i should give him another l/2 doze of the 3-month supply, wait 30 days and do it again for the next 4 months. it was also suggested to bomb the house. i'm concerned that i may make him sick but i need to get rid of these bugs!!!!! please help. thanks A: No. don't use another dose of the frontline. to effectively treat a flea problem, you need to treat the pet, the house and the yard.

DosageQ: I have three cats, flea meds are expensive. is there any difference in dosage of medicines if i buy a six months supply of advantage, giving each cat 1 dose for two months, or is the first dose in this six month pack stronger or something? all three cats weigh about the same, so they'd use the same pill strength. thanks in advance. A: Each monthly dose of advantage contains the same amount of medication. in order for this product to be effective you need to follow the manufacturer's directions and use 1 tube on each cat once a month.
