    Are your pets on any medications?

    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.

    All three are on Heartguard... But I'm assuming that most dogs are.

    Eli is on Deramaxx, and has been for the last two months, for his spine problem. He started out on 3/4 a pill everyday, then I cut it down to 1/2 a pill every day (Because its easier than cuting a round pill in quarters!). Now he's on half a pill every other day. He seems to be just as comfortable and playful on the half every other day as he was when he took it everyday.

    Not sure how long the Deramaxx will last. Probably going to have his liver levels tested tomorrow when we go in for annual shots. Surgery really isnt a good option for him at this time. It's not bad enough to make the super invasive surgery worth-while. The problem areas are down by the hips, where they'd put a plate in.

    Zeke gets eye drops sometimes... he seems really prone to eye infections. Probably going to get more tomorrow, while he's getting his annual shots as well.

    Bunny doesnt require any special medication, and never has in the past.
