Drug phamphet inserts


When you get a prescription filled at the pharmacy, you will receive an insert that includes drug information, information about side effects, drug interactions, etc...
I have never received such information from my vet, and while it might not have been important years ago, today when many use herbal additives to their pet's food and home treatments, I think it does have some significance.

This is an excellent resource web site for veterinary medication information. It is basically the drug insert that you get at the pharmacy. You can look up each product alphabetically and print or just read the information.

I believe firmly that a good pet owner is one that is as well informed as one can get.

The picture is of Puff (she's not an FIP cat) Puff was found 3 January's ago. My husband went out to his car at work and there she was freezing and starving. Her ears were all shredded around the tips because of frost bite and her paws all raw. She was all skin and bones. She let him pick her up and put her right in his car. He wrapped her in his coat, and brought her home after work was done. After quite some time, we were very pleased to see that her ears not only healed very well, but all the fur grew back and don't even see the damage. Because she was so emaciated, she eats every meal like it was her last, and even after all the time of regular meals, she still eats that way and is now a little plump. She has the softest coat, and it is short and very thick, not at all like most cat's coats. More like a chinchilla coat. She's very sweet, but if she lays next to you in the bed (which che does all the time) you'd swear you were sleeping next to a cinderblock. And she does not move. I frequently suffer from a condition I like to call "cat back" do to Puff's refusal to move in the bed.
