Dear Jaybay, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you about anti-emetics. There was a fire in a near by pet boarding facility this week and we (me and all the employees at my practice) had our hands full trying to help the survirors. Lots and lots of emergency treatment and lots of tragedies.
The following is a list of anti-emetic medications that may be able to replace Chica's Reglan:
And some of them are over the counter:
Acepromazine 0.025-0.2 mg/kg, IV, IM, SC, maximum 3 mg; 1-3 mg/kg, PO
Chlorpromazine 0.5 mg/kg, IV, IM, SC, tid-qid
Prochlorperazine 0.1 mg/kg, IM, tid-qid; 1 mg/kg, PO, bid
Isopropamide 0.2-1.0 mg/kg, PO, bid
Propantheline 0.25 mg/kg, PO, tid
Dimenhydrinate 4-8 mg/kg, PO, tid
Diphenhydramine 2-4 mg/kg, PO, tid
Cyclizine 4 mg/kg, PO, tid
Meclizine 4 mg/kg, PO, sid
Butorphanol 0.2-0.4 mg/kg, IM, sid-bid
*Reglan (Metoclopramide) 0.1-0.5 mg/kg, IM, SC, or PO, tid; 0.01-0.02 mg/kg/hr, IV infusion
Ondansetron 0.1-0.2 mg/kg, PO, sid-bid ; 0.22 mg/kg, IV, bid-tid
Dolasetron 0.6 mg/kg, IV, sid
Jaybay, I have a list of at least 12 anti-emetics (anti-nausea) medications that I will list tomorrow from the office since I have my reference materials there.
But to discuss your use of Cran Assure: I often have my patients with urinary tract infections take a cranberry supplement or juice. I also have them take vitamin C since it acidifies the urine. Dogs produce enough vitamin C when healthy, but need supplementation when illness strikes.
