Proin for dribblingQ: We are in the military and are soon to be stationed in germany. my 4 year old female shep/lab mix just started on proin 50 but the military vet does not have this available and i have found a prescription supplier that will mail to apo addresses, however they only carry propalin. they say it is the generic form of proin and is a 50 mg tab of phenylpropanolamine. is this true? have you ever heard of propalin? my vet has not. A: Propalin was available at one time as a human use product. most phenylpropaline products for human use have been withdrawn at the insistance of the u.s. government. the only source we found is very careful to state that propalin has not been approved for sale to use on dogs or cats. we can supply proin on prescription by your base veterinarian and ship it to your apo number.

German shepherdQ: Our 8 year old male german shepherd was taken to the vet one week ago and treated for skin infection. he was given a bath with sebolux and prescribed cephalexin capsules 500mg (4 capsules every 12 hours) also he was given prednisone 20mg once a day. after 3 days of treatment we noticed he was very lethargic, loss of appetite and his lower lip hanging down on one side accompanied by drooling. we contacted the vet and she advised to stop medication and give him benadryl 12.5 mg. he was given 2 1/2 tablets. two days after discontinued medication, he continues to drool, his lip has not improved, his energy not restored and he eats but very little. is it possible that he had an adverse reaction to the medication? are these syptoms serious and if so, should we seek immediate assistance? thank you A: Sounds like new problem with nervous system supply to facial structures. take back to vet for re evaluation
