Side effects of deramaxQ: I have a lhasa apso who is 15 years old. he was started on deramax approximately 1 1/2 months ago for signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis. since about 1 month ago, his has lost his appetite and will not eat his dry food, which he used to love to eat. i am having a hard time getting him to eat. he will only take "mighty dog" once it is warmed slightly, and will only eat a small portion of it. he is losing weight. is loss of appetite an adverse reaction to deramax? in the meantime, i am giving him a multi-vitamin to help supplement him. do you have any suggestions to help me get him to eat his food again? i am planning to stop the medication temporarily to see if his appetite returns. thanks, louise, rn, nurse practitioner A: It is possible that this is due to the medication. i would contact your veterinarian.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiencyQ: Hello, my dog was just diagnosed with epi. the price for the medicine is $77 for a 4 ounce package. i looked online and found out that we can also give him a human suppliment called lipram or panzytrat as well. have you heard of anyone that has done this to treat epi on their dog? thanks. A: The concentration of enzymes is different in the veterinary product than it is in the human product (lipram). i would not suggest making a change since your pet will probably not get the required dosage.

Using advantage and adam's flea spray togetherQ: My dog is on advantage, however, she is still scratching and obviously this does not do the trick completely. is it okay to use adams flea and tick spray (which i have had at least a couple of years, so i hope it is still good...) even though the adv. is still in her system? thank you! A: There would be a danger of overdosing your pet. you might want to add a flea and tick collar.
