Treating CCD with Anipryl is it effective dog is 11 year old miniature schnauzer
Hello! Anipryl can be very effective in dogs with CCD. It is individual as to how well it works though. In some dogs it gets rid of almost all signs, but in others it may only help with 1 or 2 of the issues they have. There is no way to tell before trying it, if Babs will be one of the dogs it helps a lot. In dogs that respond to it, it will usually be working within 1-2 months.

My 14 year old black lab with cognitive canine dysfunction is on Anipryl which seems to be working fairly well. Sometimes though, he has breakthrough anxiety and my vet has suggested melatonin. Would it be OK to give him a small dose of Ativan or Xa
I agree with your vet, the melatonin would be best. Dogs, especially a large 70 pound dog, would take a very large dose of lorazepam or alprazolam. They metabolize those drugs quickly so a large dose is needed - a small dose would do nothing. While those drugs can be given to dogs, I suggest you ask your vet before giving either of those drugs since they have your dogs entire medical history. It is contraindicated to give Anipryl along with certain antidepressants, opioids and benzodiazepines.

Portifoy has been placed on Ariprazol and Gabapentin , along with probiotics and fish oil, as a temporary fix to signs of intestinal and bladder distress, as well as the loss of fur and lesions. After his first doses, he slept soundly and was calm.
I'm wondering if Portifoy is on aripiprazole or Abilify, and if this is causing adverse signs due to serotonin syndrome. I can't find any information on dosing in cats, but I would imagine that like most antidepressants hyperexcitability might be a symptom. Amitriptyline is another common medication that is used as an antidepressant in situations like this that can cause odd behavior. I'd recommend talking to your vet about whether or not you should continue the medications. While gabapentin can cause sedation I think it would be less likely to cause these symptoms.

My dog stopped taking Anipryl 4 days ago. Now my vet wants me to give him trazodone tonight to try to treat his canine cognitive dementia. Everything I have read said to wait 2 weeks but she says that is not necessary. What is your opinion ? I am afr
Hello. Most times you can give Anipryl along with Trazodone safely. On occasion, if the doses were/are high enough with both drugs, you might see serotonin syndrome. I am sure your veterinarian is quite aware of the doses used & is confident that Mitch will be fine. If you do see any unusual symptoms, agitation, muscle stiffness, distress, pacing, call your veterinarian. This is easily treated. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My 14 year old black lab has had very mushy yellow stool the last 5 days. I have him on Flagyl 2x/day per my vets instructions. He is also on the max dose of Anipryl, 60mg a day, for his cognitive dysfunction. Could this be causing his diarrhea ? Sho
If Mitch has been on Anipryl for a while, I wouldn't expect the diarrhea to be related. If it was started recently, then you may want to back down for a bit and see if the diarrhea resolves. You can add probiotics and feed a bland diet of cooked white rice and boiled chicken breast for a few days to rest the GI tract.
