Thanks for using Boop by Petco! There are a few medications for appetite stimulation but my preferred ones are mirtazapine and Entyce. However, the best thing to improve appetite is to find out what is causing the appetite to be low and treat it. I would encourage you to check in with your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

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!

I don't think this is serotonin syndrome. That dose is well within the safe range for Brandy. It may be anxiety, pain, related to another medical issue, or even cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs. I would recommend discussing this new issue with Brandy's vet. They may have some more insight on what could be the cause based on her medical history and recent physical exam. It may also be that the mirtazapine is not a good match with any other medications she is on. You could try a different appetite stimulant, called Entyce, which is specifically labeled for dogs.

Mirtazapine is often used to stimulate appetite in cats and it now comes in a transdermal formulation that can be spread on the ear. The corticosteroid injection can have direct anti-cancer activity as well and it’s possible that Sadie could have another.

The dosing does go up to 1mg/kg every 12 hours. So Angel's dose at this would be 20mg twice daily, so she should be absolutely fine. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
