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.
Dry skinQ: My little dog has very dry skin and scratches all of the time, i've tryed different shampoo's and moisturizing shampoo's and nothing seems to help him, what can i do ? A: For many years, pet owners have given fatty acids to their dogs and cats to change a dull, dry coat into a more glossy one. more recently veterinarians have found that fatty acids play important roles in other areas of skin and coat health such as allergies, the control of inflammation, and the function of other body organs in dogs and cats. |we have either 3v caps or dermcaps that supply these fatty acids. information can be found on our website.
Cat weight for frontline +Q: I just purchased a 6 month supply of frontline + from 1800petmeds for my 2 cats. the older cat of 7 years is 17 lbs and my 1yr old cat is only 8 lbs. although i haven't received the meds yet, considering the weight difference, would the same amount (one vile) be used on each cat? i don't want to harm them by using too much... thank you A: Use the same product on both cats.
