Are your pets on any medications?

Casey had a bladder tumor 2 years ago and I chose to medicate her rather than chemo or surgery because she was almost 11 years old at the time. She takes Piroxicam which I get at the Rite Aid pharmacy. Piroxicam is an anti-inflammatory they discovered also works on tumors. Casey has had no bladder issues since she started taking the Piroxicam and she gets around pretty good for a 12+ year old Lab. When she was diagnosed I thought I was going to pass out. I love my vet!

Well, of the cats, only Sophia needs medication. She just finished a course of prednisone. Now we are just waiting to see if her sypmtoms come back. If they do, she'll need pred for life.

The dogs....I have an entire cupboard in my kitchen for their medications!

Earle, Delta and Chum are all hypothyroid and will need meds for that for the rest of their lives. Course none of them take the same dose, so I have three different bottles of thyro-tabs!

Earle also has anxiety issues and takes Clomicalm twice a day for that.

Sleet takes Tramadol for pain and seizure control(her seizures are pain based, if I can control the pain,no seizures. Tramadol works way better than Metacam for her). Sleet also takes DES for bladder control issues once a week.

Goldie takes Meloxicam daily for pain control. She's been on that for six years now!

Pirate takes a small pharamacy every day....Gabapentin, Tramadol, Metacam plus DES twice a week.

There's always someone on a short term medication it seems...anti-biotics, anti-inflammtories ect.

Heyoka has throat cancer, but we are still trying to figure out what if anything will help him. He'll eventually need 'roids and pain control.

Sasha is almost 15 years old, she gets a lot of meds now:

Shot at the vet once a month for her arthritis.
Pain meds every morning.
Sucralfate every morning.
Thyro-tab twice a day.
Glucosamine twice a day.

All her meds are from the vet.
