16mg Apoquel for Dogs - Single Tablet

16mg Apoquel for Dogs - Single Tablet

16mg Apoquel for dogs is a prescription medication that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions in dogs. Apoquel works by blocking the signals that cause itching and inflammation, providing relief from symptoms associated with acute and chronic canine pruritus.

Canine pruritus (itchiness) is a condition that causes itching and inflammation of the skin in dogs. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, fleas, mites, and bacterial infections. Acute pruritus is a sudden onset of itching, while chronic pruritus is a more persistent form of itching that lasts for an extended period. Both types of pruritus can be debilitating for dogs, causing discomfort, pain, and even skin infections.

16mg Apoquel for dogs works by inhibiting the production of cytokines, which are molecules that contribute to inflammation and itching. By blocking these signals, Apoquel helps to reduce inflammation and provide relief from itching. Unlike other medications that suppress the immune system, Apoquel targets only the cells involved in the inflammatory response, minimizing the risk of side effects.

Semintra Oral Solution for Cats - 30ml

Semintra Oral Solution for Cats - 30ml

Semintra for Cats is an oral medicine used in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) when there is excess protein in the urine (proteinuria). This 30ml bottle is a convenient option for smaller cats, for cats starting treatment, or where a smaller bottle suits your dispensing routine. Semintra is used under veterinary direction, because CKD care needs individual assessment and ongoing checks.

What is Semintra

Semintra contains telmisartan. Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). In cats with CKD, the kidney’s filtering units can become damaged and allow protein to leak into the urine. Semintra is used to reduce this protein loss.

Proteinuria matters because it is linked with faster progression of kidney damage in many cats. Reducing protein loss can therefore be an important treatment goal alongside diet and supportive care.

How Semintra works

Healthy kidneys filter waste into the urine while keeping most proteins in the bloodstream. In CKD, the tiny filters (glomeruli) and the surrounding tissue can be injured. This damage can increase pressure inside the filters and weaken the barrier that normally holds protein back.

Angiotensin II is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance. In kidney disease, its effects can contribute to higher pressure within the glomeruli. Telmisartan blocks angiotensin II at specific receptors. This can lower pressure in the filters and reduce protein leakage into the urine. Your vet will usually monitor response with urine testing over time.

Telmisartan can also influence blood pressure. Cats with CKD can develop high blood pressure without obvious signs. Blood pressure monitoring is therefore common in CKD plans, even when Semintra is prescribed primarily for proteinuria.

Vetmedin Injectable - 5ml Vial

Vetmedin Injectable - 5ml Vial

Vetmedin Injectable is a veterinary medicine used to support dogs diagnosed with congestive heart failure. It contains pimobendan, a medication widely used in canine cardiology to improve the efficiency of the heart and assist with circulation. The injectable format is designed for situations where dogs cannot take oral tablets or where a rapid therapeutic effect is required. It is administered by a veterinary professional, usually during the stabilisation phase of heart failure.

Vetmedin Injectable works through a combination of positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects. Pimobendan increases the strength of each heartbeat, enabling the heart to pump blood more effectively without placing additional strain on the cardiac muscle. At the same time, it relaxes the blood vessels, reducing the resistance against which the heart must pump. This dual action helps improve overall circulation, oxygen delivery, and energy distribution throughout the body. In many dogs, these effects contribute to improved comfort levels, better exercise tolerance, and a greater ability to carry out normal activities.

Congestive heart failure in dogs occurs when the heart can no longer function efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. This condition often develops gradually and can be associated with underlying problems such as mitral valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. When the heart weakens, fluid can accumulate in the lungs or abdomen, placing additional strain on the body and contributing to symptoms such as coughing, breathlessness, reduced stamina, restlessness at night, fainting episodes, and reduced appetite. Early and accurate diagnosis allows targeted treatment to begin before symptoms escalate, and medications such as Vetmedin are an essential part of many treatment plans.

Veterinary professionals may choose the injectable form of pimobendan when fast action is required or when a dog is unable to safely swallow tablets. This can occur during episodes of advanced heart failure, hospitalisation, or emergency care. Because the injectable form enters the bloodstream quickly, its effects can become noticeable sooner than with oral preparations. Once the dog is stable, the veterinarian may transition to the tablet form for long-term management.

Vetmedin Injectable supports the heart’s mechanical performance without increasing oxygen demand to the same extent as some other cardiac medications. By enhancing contractility in a controlled and efficient way, it can help the heart manage its workload more effectively. Improved pumping action can also slow the progression of fluid accumulation, which helps reduce the severity of breathing difficulties and improves overall comfort. Dogs may become more active, more alert, and more able to tolerate gentle exercise appropriate for their condition.
