Veterinary medicines aren't available in my country, so vets prescribe human meds to pets. My cat (who has been coughing - dry cough, 2 to 3 times a day, 10 to 15 seconds at a time) has been prescribed Velosef Syrup. My question is: does it make a di
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry that Jolly is not feeling well. There is no difference in the active ingredient, an antibiotic, between Velosef syrup vs capsules/tablets. Slight differences in the way the compound is dissolved may be present, but the activity is the same. Most veterinarians prescribe medications based on the animal's weight, so the total dose (total milligrams) needs to be the same no matter the form of the medication. I recommend asking your vet what the total amount of medication is per dose, and ensuring that the same amount is present in either the capsules, tablets, or syrup. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have!

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!

I am moving from Loa Angeles to northern Georgia with my two indoor-only cats, but the area will be forested and screens only provide so much protection from mosquitoes. I am concerned about feline heartworm. What is the best topical preventative a
Love his name! That is awesome! I would recommend Revolution or Advantage Multi. I personally like Advantage Multi better. Any product containing a heartworm prevention is a prescription item so you need to get your vet to either dispense the product or write you a script. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your move!

My dog was just prescribed Sildenafil for pulmonary hypertension. He is also in Kidney failure. The dose is 0.5ml twice a day. He is 5.4 pounds. I have a few questions I'd like to confirm. 1. Is the dose correct? (0.5ml 2x a day - he is 5.4lbs)
Hello. You do not indicate how many mg are in an ml of your medication, so you will need to look on your bottle. For example, it should say something like 10mg/ml, so 0.5 ml will contain 5 mg of the drug. There is a range of doses, but this is what would be acceptable for a 5.4-pound dog, 2.5 - 7.4 mg every 12 hours. It is very safe to give to a pet with kidney failure as this medication only affects pulmonary artery pressure & perfusion. Side effects are actually not well known but include inguinal ( groin ) flushing & perhaps some GI distress ( diarrhea ). Hopefully, it helps his breathing within a few days, but if not, dosage adjustments are often made. Stay in close touch with your veterinarian as to how Memi responds to his treatments. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
