  • Be advised that there is NO drug that is entirely free of side effects

  • The severity of side effects vary by patient
  • Only the human form of erythropoietin is currently available for treatment of felines
  • Although the human version has been proven effective, some cats may develop antibodies against it
  • must be stopped immediately
  • Feline recombinant erythropoietin is not commercially available at this time. 
  • An anabolic steroid that is used to improve appetite
  • Anemia
  • Calcium Imbalance  
  • Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D (D3). An excess of phosphorus suppresses the production of calcitriol
  • The lack of calcitriol prevents calcium from being absorbed in the alimentary canal which leads to hypocalcemia
  • Hyperphosphatemia (excess phosphorus
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • (Amlodipine, calcium channel blocker
  • These medications may be helpful in treating CRF since they dilate the blood vessels thereby increasing blood flow to the kidneys
  • Hypokalemia (potassium depletion
  • potassium gluconate)
  • Inappetence (loss of appetite
  • Periactin (cyproheptadine
  • Potassium supplementation combined with the inability of the kidneys of end-stage CRF cats to sufficiently rid their bodies of excess potassium can stress the heart and could potentially cause heart failure and/or other associated problems
  • For some reason, Periactin works to stimulate the appetite in cats. Periactin does not work equally well for all cats, but since it has fewer and less serious side effects than the family of tranquilizers more commonly used for appetite stimulation, it's worth a try
  • Valium (diazepam) and Serax (oxazepam
  • By experimentation you may find a dose small enough not to cause noticeable CNS depression while still stimulating appetite.
  • When giving these tranquilizers to cats, it is extremely important to always keep a close watch on them when the drug takes effect to make sure they don't fall off anything.
  • Pepcid AC Acid Controller (famotidine
  • Kremezin (AST-120)
  • is not an appetite stimulant. It simply eliminates one of the disturbances that can cause a cat not to eat and, therefore, may improve appetite
  • Antibiotics
  • Antibiotics do not fight CRF, they fight infections that may be taking advantage of your cat's weakened condition

Evaluation of Prognostic Factors and Establishment of a Prognostic Scoring System for C... - 2 views

  •  
    Clinical courses of primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (pIMHA) in dogs are highly variable, however, limited information is available to predict their accurate prognoses. To evaluate the prognostic significance of clinical factors and to propose a scoring system to predict prognoses, the medical records of seventy-one dogs with pIMHA were reviewed.

Treatment with gabapentin of 11 dogs with refractory idiopathic epilepsy - 1 views

  •  
    Eleven dogs diagnosed with refractory idiopathic epilepsy were treated orally with gabapentin for a minimum of three months at an initial dose of 10 mg/kg every eight hours. They were all experiencing episodes of generalised tonic-clonic seizures and had been treated chronically with a combination of phenobarbital and potassium bromide at doses sufficient to reach acceptable therapeutic serum levels without causing significant side effects. In each dog, the number of seizures per week, the average duration of the seizures and the number of days on which seizures occurred were compared for the three months before and after they were treated with gabapentin. A minimum 50 per cent reduction in the number of seizures per week was interpreted as a positive response to gabapentin, and six of the dogs showed a positive response. After the addition of gabapentin, both the number of seizures per week (P= 0·005) and the number of days with any seizures in a one-week period (P=0·03) were significantly reduced. Mild side effects of ataxia and sedation were observed in five of the dogs, but they were not severe enough to warrant the treatment being discontinued during the trial.

Feline hyperadrenocorticism - where are we now? - 0 views

  •  
    Similarly to the dog, most cases of hyperadrenocorticism in the cat are caused by the excessive secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pars intermedia or pars distalis of the pituitary gland which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete an excessive amount of cortisol.

Tracheal Collapse in Dogs: Signs, Causes, and Treatment on MedicineNet - 0 views

  •  
    Tracheal Collapse in Dogs Tracheal collapse is a common cause of airway obstruction in dogs. The trachea, or "windpipe," is a tube made up of sturdy rings of cartilage through which air is transported to and from the lungs. Sometimes, however, the tracheal rings begin to collapse, and as air is squeezed through, a characteristic honking cough results.
