The Internet is filled with veterinary and pet medication sites, and all claim to be the foremost authority and source for your pet’s needs. Buying medication for your pet is okay, as long as you know exactly what you’re buying and the proper amounts to administer to your pet. Thus, the professional advice of a registered veterinarian is invaluable. This information does not replace professional veterinary care; its purpose is to be used as an educational guide to your pet’s medications only. Adequan - used in the treatment of arthritis, with injections 2 times a week for 4 weeks for a total of eight injections. Injections are given intramuscularly. The usual patients are dogs, cats, and horses. In veterinary medicine, buspirone has been especially helpful in the treatment of phobias (such as fear of thunder, people in uniform, etc.) and in the treatment of urine marking in cats. Calcitriol - This medication actually represents activated vitamin D. It plays an important role in calcium phosphorus balance and can be beneficial in preventing the progression of kidney failure. Cephalexin - An antibiotic which is very effective for the treatment of common and uncomplicated infections. Cisapride - One of the stomach's most important functions is to grind the food we eat into a fine slurry that will pass through the intestines freely. Cisapride is thus an excellent alternative to those patients who have unacceptable side effects with metoclopramide. Clemastine fumarate - Clemastine fumarate is one of the more effective antihistamines albeit relatively expensive. Due to its efficacy, it is the first choice for the treatment of itchy skin. It has found to be helpful in 30% of itchy dogs and 50% of itchy cats. Diethylstilbestrol - DES has only one primary use: the treatment of sphincter tone incontinence in female dogs. DES is used at extremely low doses to avoid the toxicity issues that have been a problem for estrogen derivative medications. Diphenhydramine - Most obviously, diphenhydramine is an antihistamine and it's used for inflammatory and allergic conditions such as snake bites, vaccination reactions, blood transfusion reactions, bee stings and insect bites. Enrofloxacin - Enrofloxacin can be used in either cats or dogs to combat various types of infections, especially those involving Pseudomonas. Fenbendazole - Very effective in combating roundworms, hookworms, and the more difficult to treat whipworms. Griseofulvin - This medication is used to treat ringworm, a fungal infection of the skin involving fungi. Glipizide - This oral medication works by causing the pancreas to release insulin more effectively. It also helps increase tissue sensitivity so that smaller doses of insulin may have a greater effect. Some cats will respond adequately to this treatment and thus avoid the use of insulin injections at home. Ketoconazole - This drug fights fungal infections both minor and life threatening, but because of the way it works it can also be used to treat Cushing’s disease (a cortisone imbalance). Orbifloxacin - Orbifloxacin may be used in dogs and cats to combat different types of infections, especially those involving Pseudomonas. Also effective against Staphylococci, and thus is commonly used for skin infections. Phenobarbital - In dogs and cats, phenobarbital is probably the first choice for seizure suppression. It is effective, safe if used responsibly, and is one of the least expensive medications in all of veterinary practice. Phenylpropanolamine - Phenylpropanolamine can be used for suppressing appetite or as a decongestant, however, in veterinary medicine this medication is used almost exclusively to treat urinary incontinence in the female dog. Ranitidine - This medication is used for the treatment of conditions where there is stomach irritation and ulceration. Terbinafine - This medication is used against other types of fungi but at this time it is mostly used against ringworm. Trimethoprim Sulfa - This medication is also known by many names as it's a commonly used antibiotic in both human and veterinary medicine. It's become a popular choice thanks to its broad spectrum and inexpensive cost.
