That is ridiculous that Dechra did not properly answer your question. They most certainly do have that information (at least, SOMEBODY there does!!), and you should have been transferred to the person or department who could give you the correct info. It is not an unreasonable question at all, and packaging errors such as this have been made by drug companies in the past. But FWIW, it looks to me as though all the dosages of Vetoryl capsules are the same color at any give time. For instance, you'll see them all described as being black and white at the time that this ad was published (scroll clear down to the very bottom of the page to see the various capsule descriptions):

Anyone using Vetroyl 30 mgs? What color are they?

Yes I am using Vetoryl 30 mgs for my Nika...the capsules are black and a cream color...on the cream color part of the capsule it says "Vetoryl 30 mg" .....I hope this helps... hugs Lynda and Nika

Thank you both :)

It looked dark green in the dim light in the kitchen at 5:30 am, maybe they are more black then dark green but they sure are not red.

She seems fine and maybe the capsuls are all dark and cream now.

Thanks for checking. I got worried maybe she had 30 mgs originally and now only has 10 mgs. Does not sound like that happened since Linda's 30 mgs are not dark red. Maybe it is me eeeeeekkkkkk!!!!!!

love,

Addy,
I can totally relate to the worried/nervous feeling. I have begun to second guess, double check, worry about everything related to Hannah's health. I do feel like we have to be good advocates for our furry friends though, so that's what I tell myself when I wonder if someone thinks I am being crazy. Mistakes ARE made, and I would rather be safe than sorry. I would have felt the same way if I were you. Why on earth would that change?!?!

Glad Zoe is doing well!

Addy -

I recently had a drastic change of appearance in one of my own medications. It went from a large pale yellow pill to a very small bright blue pill! The pharmacy put a sticker on the bottle that said there was a change in appearance (no kidding!). I still find it hard to believe it is the same medication, but I've been taking it anyway. :eek: Now, had that been one of Alivia's meds, I'd be researching and making phone calls, so I understand your concern!

I'm glad that Zoe continues to do well!!!

Dear Addy
Apollo uses 10mg.and the color of the capsole is white and black.
I cann't say anything about another color. I think it always has been that color. The compounded 12mg. is a dark green and white caposole. The 30 mg. is a white and black capsole. Also you should be able to read on the capsole the dosage.
Better cautious. I had my own problem with the pharmacy on reordering. You have a right to question.

I checked these pills and they say 10mgs on them and in the light are cream and black.

I am confused why I thought the first box was dark red and white. I said every day to myself, Bright red is 5 mgs and dark red is 10 mgs, yup her bowl is right. I can't figure out why I would have thought that for a month.:o:o:o:o:o

Maybe I am color blind now:eek::eek::eek:

I feel stupid.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hugs,
Addy

Okay, let's see, you are under a little stress from work, your mom, your daughter's & granddaughter's situation, and especially Zoe. We don't see everything in black and white (cream)--haha!!! But seriously, our minds think one thing and it is another sometimes. You know how you read something, but it said something different, but you thought it said what you wanted it to say. I have confused the word "fresh" for "free" Christmas trees once at Target--I thought wow I will check them out--what a dummie I was....but you know what I mean....

Good thing the weather will be getting a little cooler so you can break out the "red" sweaters--I am sure that is the direction you were going with the pills--hehe!!! :p

I too wish Carrol would check in so we know how she is doing....

In all seriousiness I would be checking into why the color is different--I am a Doubting Thomas also. I think I have given Ella something wrong each time she doesn't seem like she is feeling well--we just automatically think something is wrong now days. I never worried much with Maddie--oh how weird is this....

So glad Zoe is still doing so well--enjoy!!!!! :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!!! :) I don't want it to be Monday again!!:eek:

Dear Addy
You are not color blind. Just stressed like the rest of us.
Hugs Sonja and Apollo

Addy,

If it will help I have a PDR...Physicians Desk Reference...shoot me a picture of the pills and tell me what the markings are on them and I will identify them for you. It also may be in this day and age a PDR may be online now.
