Hi tony is on amlodipine for hi blood pressure and my vet is getting ready to start him on mirtazapine appetite stimulant so he’ll hopefully eat his kidney diet. Can mirtazapine affect his blood pressure? Thx
Mirtazapine is safe to use with amlodipine. Mirtazapine at high doses could potentially decrease blood pressure, but at typically prescribed doses, it is safe to give with amlodipine. Your vet may want to monitor blood pressure a few days after starting the mirtazapine just to be sure its all looking good. Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

My white Scotty Terrier, 35 pds. Has a urine protein creatinine of 2.4. What medication would be helpful to decrease this? Roxie dog also has borderline high BP. Lisinopril or Rafampin? I am an RN and I am familiar with these medications. I will
If a UTI has been ruled out by urine culture, then protein losing nephropathy can be suspected as the cause, and an ACEI such as enalapril or benazepril can be used. I believe there is a newer medication on the US market for this purpose in dogs, but I can't remember it now! I just learned about it at a lecture a few months ago. I don't typically treat borderline high BP, but if the PLN is real then the ACEI will certain help lower the BP to decrease protein loss. Beta blockers would be the next step, but I haven't needed to use them personally.

why would my vet prescribe sildenafil and theophylline a week before doing diagnostic tests?
We often treat a pet symptomatically before test results are available to us. I can only assume that your vet had enough evidence to suggest that Dee was hypertensive, warranting the use of Sildanefil, and also had signs of bronchospasms or breathing difficulty, warranting the use of Theophylline. I am unsure of your pets clinical signs to confirm this, but this would be a logical explanation. But ultimately if you want to 100% know why these medications were prescribed then it would not be considered rude or unheard of to ask your vet their logic behind this decision. It is always best to hear the information from the source rather than speculation from an outside source.

Hi Dr kothman called in a prescription for doxycycline 100mg and 100 tablets I would like to compare the price that was called into our local HEB with your price.
We don't sell prescription drugs here since we are only a consulting forum. However, if you want to do comparison prices for drugs then the best resource is https://www.goodrx.com OR calling the pharmacy of your choosing directly. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find an affordable price for your pets medication. Take care!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).
