Oral Torbutrol For Arthritis Pain? NSAIDs Aren't Working
If you don't have access to tramadol you can try amantadine. I have used tramadol, amantadine, and tylenol with or without codeine chronically in dogs on pred (for other reasons) as well as omega 3FFA and SamE.
Forms For Declining Recommendations
I have been looking for a way (besides just documenting it in the record), to show that a client declined my recommendations. I would like to get into the habit of using something that requires an owners signature.
Dental Brain Teaser #12: Enamel Loss And Exposed Dentin
Here is a case that presented yesterday for "routine teeth cleaning". On my intake exam, I noticed one of the maxillary first molars did not look like the other. What is the diagnosis and what to do?
Questions About Vaccinating Older Animals
I have 2 questions. Why vaccinate adult cats with FeLV vaccine if it is difficult to get the disease? And when should we stop vaccinating older dogs and cats? If the immune system in old dogs and cats is starting to become compromised, I guess they are more susceptible to disease, but would they then have an inadequate response to the vaccine?
