Hairball medicineQ: My cat has a food allergy to anything containing a fish byproduct. i cannot give her any laxatone or hairball remedies (to prevent her vomiting) because all products contain one form or another of fish byproducts. what hairball remedy is available that doesn't contain any fish byproducts? A: I would try olive oil given at 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily as well as can use wheat germ oil added to food as well or possibly cod liver oil at 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon daily. also use prozyme added to meals daily from 1800petmeds Shop for: prozyme, 1800petmeds Tear ductsQ: Dr. doctor, my vet said that my shih-tzu (6 years old) has inactive tear ducts. she prescribed cyclosporin op dp2% 3xs daily for 2 weeks. this has been an on going problem for 3 years. i took my pet to an eye specialist approx. 1 1/2 years ago after my vet, at that time, recommenended it. the specialtist prescribed neopolydex and artificial tears ointment. i have spent a mini fortune for these presciptions and visits, which a friend told me i could get tear drops from a pet store and it will work just as good. i want to do what is best for my pet, but as i mentioned, i am spending alot on prescriptions and office visits. thanks for your help. pat A: We can supply the neo poly dex oint and the lubricant eye ointment for you with savings guaranteed at the time of the order. in most probability, the lubricant may be all you need.
LevothyroxineQ: How often should a thyroid test be done on a 7 yr old maltese who has been on the drug 2 yrs? how many months of the drug can be ordered/filled by you with a vets o.k. at one time. A: How often to test is dependant on your pets response to treatment. if the pet is stabilized, your veterinarian may only need to do a test every 6 to 12 months. if your pet shows signs of hypothyroid or hyperthyroid, testing may need to be done every 3 months. in stabilized pets, and based on the veterinarians willingness, it is possible to have a prescription filled for a 1 year supply.
Heartgard plusQ: Hi, i just took my dogs to the vet for their annual checkup and shots. i usually get the heartgard plus for 12 months through the vet. eventhough i give the medicine religiously every month on the same day, my vet is requireing the heartworm blood test at $50.00 per dog. if i buy the heartgard plus from your pharmacy, will you also require, when you contact my vet, that the bloodtest be done before you prescribe the meds? also can i order two six month supplies for each of my dogs? thanks so much, jennie A: Heartworm products require a prescription from your vet. if the veterinarian you are using requires annual testing then you will have no choice. in answer to your second question, you can order a 12 pack for each of them. if you wish to save money, we can supply the iverhart plus that is the generic equivalent for the heartgard plus.
