  1. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Thanks Leslie. I truly appreciate your concern. We have discussed this issue with the vet because like you I was wondering why he would give vetoryl to her if she has kidney issues. My understanding...
  2. Re: Treatment question: Dog not responding well to treatment

    Hi
    I’m sorry I’m not as expert as some of the forum but we have struggled with the same issues. Our Maggie (a Maltese) stopped eating around thanksgiving. For her it was due to kidney issues caused...
  3. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Well I think Maggie had cushings at 12 or 13 but it wasn’t diagnosed because our vet didn’t believe she had it.

    Much has happened over the last month. We almost lost Maggie to kidney failure. The...

    We are rechecking STIM first week in December. The internist wanted her on the 10 mg dose for longer before rechecking and Dr B agreed.

    She’s now having kidney issues....

  8. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Thanks. She was on fish oil but the vet said to take her off and just give the vetoryl and blood pressure medication for now. I hope it will go down with the cushings treatment

    How’s pookie?

  13. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions!

    The internist said a dose increase is usually not made until the second check but he felt (and dr b agreed) that in this instance her initial...

    Ohhhhhh Marianne, how I wish I read your post before giving the pumpkin!! Maggie was up all night with diarrhea and while we were at work had an accident again. I’m so stupid!! The vet didn’t...

    I hope Pookie tolerates it well! What dose will you begin at?
  18. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Thanks Marianne! I’m Marianne too!

    I’ve added pumpkin to her diet. She eats freeze dried raw and it doesn’t have a ton of fiber so vet suggested adding some fiber. We took her off the...
  19. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Thanks

    The metronidazole was solely given to help with the diarrhea caused by vetoryl. She didn’t have an infection

    Dr B said we shouldn’t have to give metro in order to treat with vetoryl...
  20. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Hi
    We are keeping at her 5 mg once a day and will test next Tuesday. I am stripping the metronidazole tomorrow. Her stool has been quite normal the last two days! Thank goodness for small things!

  21. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    The internist put her on it because of the diarrhea. Yes I’m sure the drug is causing the diarrhea because her stool was fine before starting.

    I’m taking to vet tomorrow. This can’t go on.
  22. Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions

    Well I’m considering taking Maggie off the vetoryl. She’s sleeping all day and her stool is still soft despite the metronidazole I’m wondering whether it’s worth it.

    Her back leg weakness is...
  23. Re: Gastrointestinal issues with vetoryl

    Vet said probiotics may help. Also gave us RX clay. It didn’t really help so we used the metronidazole

    I haven’t found the slippery elm yet.

    Pepcid usually works for vomiting for Maggie. I...
  24. Re: Gastrointestinal issues with vetoryl

    Thanks!
    No other issues at all! Vet and manufacturer think it may subside after her body gets used it it. She has had two doses of metronidazole and she’s much better. I just don’t want to keep her...
  25. Re: Gastrointestinal issues with vetoryl

    Update
    Maggie saw the vet. Electrolytes checked all ok. He suggested a reduction to 5 mg per day and gave metronidazole just in case.

    Checked her thyroid with the MOST EXPENSIVE panel ever....
