Re: 15 yr old Maltese just diagnosed. So overwhelmed! Vetoryl questions
Good to hear from you again but I am so sorry to hear both that Maggie got so sick. I am very glad she pulled thru.
Now I'm gonna be real blunt - I also VERY sorry that the Vetoryl continues to be given to her. Dechra is very clear - Vetoryl should not be used in dogs with kidney disease. I think I am only repeating what has already been said but since her vet continues to mistreat her by giving her a drug that will cause the kidney disease to progress faster I feel the need to repeat this message again. I would not give Maggie another dose of Vetoryl ever, for any reason, in any dose. Protecting her kidneys would be my main focus and I would tell this vet who is insistent on causing further damage to them to go jump in a lake. Her vet is hastening her death by continuing to tell you to give this drug to her. I hate to be so blunt but if I didn't care I would keep silent and let Maggie suffer. But I DO care and I want her to be with you for as long as possible...which will not happen if she continues to take Vetoryl. Please, I'm begging you, stop the Vetoryl and concentrate on keeping her kidneys as healthy as possible.
Hugs,
Leslie
