5.4mg Apoquel Tablets are the latest treatment for acute and chronic pruritus (itching) in dogs. VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Incurin is a prescription medication used to manage hormone-dependent urinary incontinence in female dogs. It contains estriol, a natural form of oestrogen, which helps restore control over bladder function. This medication is specifically designed for spayed female dogs experiencing involuntary urine leakage due to decreased oestrogen levels.

What is Hormone-Dependent Urinary Incontinence?

Hormone-dependent urinary incontinence is a common condition in spayed female dogs, typically occurring as they age. It results from a decline in oestrogen production following spaying. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle tone in the urethral sphincter, which is responsible for preventing urine leakage.

When oestrogen levels drop, the muscles controlling urine retention weaken, leading to involuntary leakage. This condition is also known as urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI). It can cause noticeable symptoms such as small puddles of urine left behind where the dog has been lying down or sleeping. Leakage can be infrequent or more consistent, depending on the severity of the condition.

Although the condition is not painful, it can be distressing for both the dog and the owner. Affected dogs may not realise they are leaking urine, and owners may notice damp bedding or an ammonia-like odour. Without treatment, the condition can lead to skin irritation, infections, and hygiene concerns.

EpiRepress 60mg Tablets for Dogs are indicated for the prevention of generalised epilepsy in dogs. VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Libromide is a veterinary medicine used to help manage epilepsy in dogs. Libromide Tablets are commonly prescribed by veterinary surgeons for the long-term treatment of canine epilepsy, especially in cases where phenobarbital alone is not effective or suitable. 325mg Libromide contains the active ingredient potassium bromide, which has anticonvulsant properties. It is used either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other anti-epileptic medications to help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in dogs.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain. In dogs, it leads to recurrent seizures, which can vary in type and severity. The exact cause of epilepsy is often unknown, particularly in cases of idiopathic epilepsy, which is the most common form in dogs. However, the condition can also result from underlying health issues such as brain tumours, liver disease, head trauma, or exposure to toxins. Regardless of the cause, the goal of treatment is to reduce seizure frequency and improve the dog’s quality of life.

Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. When nerve cells (neurons) fire excessively or erratically, this can result in uncontrolled muscle movements, loss of consciousness, drooling, twitching, or other physical symptoms. In dogs with epilepsy, this activity can be triggered randomly and may occur multiple times a month or even several times in a single day. Not all seizures are the same. Some may involve the whole body (generalised seizures), while others may only affect part of the body or behaviour (focal seizures).

Libromide Tablets work by stabilising the electrical activity in the brain. Potassium bromide, the active ingredient, alters the chloride transport within neurons, increasing the seizure threshold and reducing the likelihood of seizures occurring. This helps to calm the nerve signals in the brain, making seizures less frequent and less intense. Unlike some medications, Libromide is not metabolised by the liver, which makes it a useful alternative for dogs with liver conditions or those who do not tolerate phenobarbital well.

VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Thyforon 200 is a veterinary medication used to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. It contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4), which is essential for regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Thyforon 200 is available in tablet form and is prescribed by veterinarians to manage thyroid hormone deficiencies in dogs.

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in dogs, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, lethargy, hair loss, and skin problems. Thyforon 200 helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels, alleviating these symptoms and improving the dog’s quality of life.

How Thyforon 200 Works

Thyforon 200 contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic version of thyroxine (T4), which is the hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. In dogs with hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroxine, resulting in a slow metabolism and a range of health problems.

When administered as prescribed, Thyforon 200 supplements the missing thyroid hormone, restoring normal metabolic function. The body converts levothyroxine into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of the hormone. This process helps regulate energy levels, body temperature, heart rate, and overall well-being.

Onsior 40mg for Dogs is a prescription-only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation in dogs. It contains the active substance robenacoxib, which is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. This medicine is commonly prescribed by vets to manage pain associated with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders in dogs.

Each tablet contains 40mg of robenacoxib and is designed for once-daily oral administration. Onsior tablets are flavoured to aid with administration and are scored to allow accurate dosing based on the dog’s weight. They are authorised for veterinary use in the UK and have been shown to be effective for the management of chronic and acute pain.

How 40mg Onsior Works

Onsior 40mg contains robenacoxib, a member of the coxib class of NSAIDs. It works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which plays a key role in producing prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation. By blocking COX-2, robenacoxib reduces the production of these chemicals at the site of injury or inflammation.

Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Onsior has minimal effect on COX-1, the enzyme involved in maintaining normal functions of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and blood clotting. This selectivity helps reduce the risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects often associated with NSAID use in dogs.

Onsior begins to act rapidly, with effects typically observed within one to two hours of administration. The drug accumulates preferentially at sites of inflammation, allowing for targeted relief of pain while limiting exposure to unaffected tissues.

5mg Fortekor Flavoured is a heart failure treatment for dogs. It contains the active ingredient benazepril hydrochloride.

Fortekor 5mg is given orally and is broken down into an efficient inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reducing blood volume, sodium and water levels, as well as making it harder for your dog's heart to pump effectively.

VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Amodip 1.25mg for Cats is a prescription-only medication used to manage systemic hypertension (high blood pressure) in cats. It contains the active ingredient amlodipine besylate, which belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers. This medicine is widely used in veterinary medicine to help reduce and control blood pressure in feline patients.

Amodip comes in chewable tablets that are flavoured to make administration easier. Each tablet contains 1.25mg of amlodipine, which is the most commonly recommended starting dose for cats. It is licensed for veterinary use in the UK and is usually prescribed by vets when a cat has been diagnosed with persistent high blood pressure.

How Amodip Works

Amodip works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessel walls. It does this by inhibiting the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This relaxation causes the vessels to widen (vasodilation), which lowers the resistance against blood flow and helps reduce blood pressure.

Lowering blood pressure reduces the strain on the heart and can help prevent damage to organs such as the kidneys, brain, and eyes. In cats, high blood pressure can lead to serious health issues including blindness, seizures, and kidney failure. By maintaining blood pressure within a normal range, Amodip can support long-term health and improve a cat's quality of life.
