Are your pets on any meds for any medical condition(s)? I'm not talking meds like Frontline, Interceptor, etc

The only pup I've got that is on meds is Beanie. He has knee issues and gets pain meds when it flairs up.

Koko has allergies that requires a shot every three weeks. The exact
ingredients is unknown. It was formulated by Auburn University based
on a series of scratch and blood test. I give her glucosamine,chondroitin,
msm in a tablet twice a day for hip dysphasia. I give her 3vcaps omega
three tablets for her skin and coat. I bath her once a week with Virbac
Etiderm for her skin also.

Shilo gets enalapril, lasix and aspirin for his heart.

Biddy gets ammonil to keep his urine ph correct.

Jasper gets prednisone for IBD.

Mickey gets amitriptylin to calm/destress him.

Jim and Sterling get amitriptylin AND clomipromine for behavioral spraying.

Shilo and Bonnie get an occasional shot of steroids (depo medrol) for stomatitis. About once a month. And hopefully when Bonnie gets her last tooth pulled, she won't need them any more.

Niño is epileptic but it's too mild to medicate.

No not at this time.. But I have had my share of giving meds to the babies at diff times for diff reasons..

Perky is, but only for another couple days. she is on Sucralfate and Misoprostol, every 8 hours, 1 an hour after the other. she is on them because she ruptured a Crucial ligiment, the vet put her on Metacam, and the Metacam damn near killed her, she is on these 2 medicines to fix the problems caused by the medicine she was given for her knee.

Not until recently, unfortunately.
Phinehas is on lysine, Tobramycin (eye drops) and another eye drop I can't remember the name of right now for feline herpes virus which I found out is apparently a common respiratory pathogen in cats. In fact, most cats have this, but their immune systems keep it at bay.

Malachi is also on lysine (amino acid), Idoxuridine (eye drops), Tobramycin (eye drops) or Gentamycin (eye gel) and the same eye drops I can't remember the name of along with Acyclovir (oral anti-viral medication) for the same thing Phinehas has, only he has a more serious case which is why the poor thing is on more meds.

I'm hoping they will improve and get over this hurdle so I can stop the medication. It's likely they could have flare-ups from time-to-time in the future, so the eye drops and lysine will probably be my long term treatment.

Jack is on Lactulose and Cisapride for his megacolon.

Cami is on Methioform for her urinary ph balance.

*ETA Bear is now on Methioform tabs too.

Myndi: - 13 yrs old
A low dose of thyroid med daily for her slightly sluggish thyroid.
A depo shot about every 3-4 months as needed for her "itchies".
Glucosamine/chrondroitin once daily for her bad knees.
Nothing needed for her heart murmur - all clear there.

Sparky: - 9 yrs old
Glucosamine/chrondroitin once daily for his bad knee.

Nope Thank God.

Just Ming, my Meezer. He's on amitryptiline for urinary blockages (stress related, or so the vet thinks). It works and doesn't bother him, so I guess I'll keep it up.
