PhenobarbQ: My dog has been on liquid phenobarb for three years now. is there another medication that petmeds sells that is similar and how much is it? i pay for 1 months supply of pheno at the vet $20. my dog takes 2cc of pheno every 12 hours. A: We do not currently sell phenobarbital. you can check with your local pharmacist as to how much he would charge as it is commonly available.
Skin conditionQ: I have a white toy poodle - he has developed bumps on one side of his body that had green puss coming out...as soon as i realized this i cleaned the area and poured perioxide to "boil" the area....this seemed to help and dry the area...all but in the bed of his hind-leg where he licks alot. this area is still red and looks irritated....what can i do? the other bumps are still there but still appear to be all dried up and no longer oozing with green puss...thanks A: Try antibacterial shampoos every few days with one such as chlorihexiderm shampoo from 1800petmeds. if persists, see vet for likely diagnosis and prescription antibiotics, etc

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.

Head shakingQ: How is one to know the difference between prescription and non prescription medication when the vet gives you all medications? A: The prescription medication,which by the way we do carry, has a statement printed on the package that reads, to be dispensed by, or on, the prescription of a veterinarian. the non-prescription products do not have such a notation. if you are not sure, please call and we can supply you with specific information.
Kcs & cyclosporinQ: I receive cyclosporin drops in corn oil from my vet. when i go to purchase this online, many places(1800petmeds) only have it in a salve-type formula which seems to make my cocker's eyes worse. i was wondering if petmeds offer this in a large bottle(more than my usual 5cc) with the cyclosporin in corn oil? A: We currently do not supply the cyclosporin in oil.
