Senvelgo for Cats: The New Treatment for Feline Diabetes

Senvelgo for Cats is an oral solution designed to manage diabetes mellitus in cats. Formulated with velagliflozin, Senvelgo offers a targeted solution for maintaining glycaemic control, providing cat owners a streamlined and effective approach to caring for feline diabetes. This product is specifically indicated for cats who are newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and have not been previously treated with insulin.

Senvelgo’s daily oral administration is convenient for pet owners, available either by direct oral application or through a small amount of wet food. With careful weight-based dosing, Senvelgo allows precise control over the medication quantity administered. Additionally, it does not require refrigeration, making it a practical choice for pet care.

How Senvelgo Works

Senvelgo works by reducing high blood glucose levels, or hyperglycaemia, in cats with diabetes mellitus. The active ingredient, velagliflozin, is classified as a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It targets the kidney's function of glucose reabsorption, promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine. By facilitating this process, Senvelgo helps to regulate blood glucose levels without relying on insulin injections, making it an alternative to insulin for cats not previously treated with insulin.

The action of Senvelgo is typically well-tolerated, leading to visible improvements in glycaemic control in some cats as early as the first week of treatment. This control minimises the risk of common symptoms associated with untreated or poorly managed diabetes in cats, such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. Moreover, the solution has a low risk of causing hypoglycaemia, a condition of dangerously low blood sugar levels, which is a concern with some diabetic treatments.

1mg Isemid Tablets for Dogs are used to manage the symptoms of congestive heart failure in dogs. Congestive heart failure is a medical condition where the dog's heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to a fluid accumulation in the chest and lungs, clinically referred to as pulmonary oedema.

Isemid 1mg for Dogs works by enhancing the elimination of water and salt through the urine. This action subsequently decreases the overall blood volume, thereby reducing the strain on the heart to pump blood. The primary active ingredient in Isemid is Torasemide, a potent diuretic that facilitates the renal excretion of sodium, chloride, and water.

1mg Isemid Tablets are chewable, facilitating ease of administration. They can be given with or without food, providing flexibility in the regimen. VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Ekyflogyl Gel for Horses is a unique, topical corticosteroid gel designed specifically for horses suffering from localised musculoskeletal disorders. 125ml Ekyflogyl Gel is the only topical corticosteroid gel for horses licensed in the UK.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a common ailment in horses, with a significant percentage of horses developing at least one kind of musculoskeletal disorder during their lifetime. These disorders can cause inflammation and pain, affecting the horse's mobility and quality of life.

DMSO promotes the penetration of these active substances through the skin, ensuring the effective delivery of the treatment to the affected area.

Sileo Gel for Dogs – Treatment for Noise-Induced Anxiety and Fear

Sileo Gel for Dogs is a prescription medication designed to help manage acute anxiety and fear triggered by loud sounds. It contains dexmedetomidine, an active ingredient that reduces stress and panic responses without causing sedation. Sileo is commonly used during events such as thunderstorms, fireworks, and loud gatherings, where noise sensitivity can cause distress in dogs.

Noise-induced anxiety is a common behavioural issue in dogs. Sudden loud sounds can trigger an intense fear response, leading to pacing, trembling, excessive panting, or attempts to hide or escape. These reactions can be distressing for both the dog and the owner. Sileo Gel provides a targeted solution by calming the dog without impairing normal function, allowing them to remain alert and responsive while feeling more at ease.

How Sileo Gel Works

Sileo Gel contains dexmedetomidine hydrochloride, a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that reduces the release of norepinephrine, a brain chemical responsible for stress and anxiety responses. By lowering norepinephrine levels, Sileo helps to calm the dog and reduce signs of fear without causing drowsiness or loss of coordination.

Administered as an oral transmucosal gel, Sileo is applied between the dog’s cheek and gum. It is absorbed through the mucous membranes, allowing for fast-acting relief within 30 to 60 minutes. The effects last for several hours, helping dogs remain calm during prolonged noise events. Unlike some sedatives, Sileo does not cause significant lethargy, meaning dogs can still interact normally with their surroundings.

Sileo is specifically designed for situational anxiety caused by loud sounds. It is not intended for general anxiety or long-term behavioural issues. It should be used under veterinary guidance, with dosage based on the dog's weight to ensure effectiveness and safety.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Laxatract is an oral solution for dogs and cats used to relieve constipation and support digestive health. It contains lactulose, an osmotic laxative that helps soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. Laxatract is commonly prescribed for pets suffering from chronic or occasional constipation and may also be used in cases requiring the management of hepatic encephalopathy.

How Does Laxatract Work?

Laxatract contains lactulose, a synthetic sugar that is not absorbed by the body. Instead, it passes through the digestive tract unchanged until it reaches the colon. Once in the colon, lactulose is broken down by bacteria into organic acids, which draw water into the intestines. This increase in water content softens the stool and makes it easier to pass.

By promoting bowel movements, lactulose helps prevent discomfort and complications associated with constipation. It also encourages healthy gut motility, reducing the risk of further digestive issues.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

8mg Reconcile for Dogs is a prescription medication that contains fluoxetine. Reconcile 8mg is available as chewable tablets and it's indicated as an aid in the treatment of separation-related disorders in dogs manifested by destruction and inappropriate behaviours (vocalisation and inappropriate defaecation and/or urination).

Reconcile is a prescription-only medication for dogs suffering from separation anxiety. The 8mg dose is typically prescribed for small to medium-sized dogs, depending on the animal's weight and condition. Reconcile is designed to be used in combination with a structured behaviour modification programme, under the guidance of a veterinary professional.

Reconcile contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This active ingredient works by increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and behaviour. In dogs with separation anxiety, serotonin levels may be imbalanced, which can contribute to distress when left alone. By restoring this balance, Reconcile can help reduce anxious behaviours over time.

Separation anxiety is a common behavioural issue in dogs. It occurs when a dog becomes distressed or exhibits undesirable behaviours when separated from their owner or primary caregiver. Common signs include excessive barking or howling, destructive chewing, attempts to escape, urinating or defecating indoors, and pacing. These behaviours often begin shortly after the owner leaves and can be distressing for both the dog and the household.

The 8mg strength of Reconcile is usually prescribed for dogs weighing between 8.1kg and 16kg. Dosage is typically given once daily, and it is important that the medication is administered at the same time each day to maintain a consistent effect. Tablets are flavoured to aid compliance and are often well-accepted by dogs when offered with food or as a treat.
