Vet prescribed a blood pressure pill even tho he said her blood pressure was fine...it's supposed to help the bp and circulation in her kidneys...


Any experience with this type of thing?

my girl has high blood pressure and the vet prescribed amlodipine. but we encountered a fainting episode (or at least i am hoping that's all it was) we since then discontinued the bp pill amlodipine until she can further research something else to put her on. what pill did you vet prescribe for the high bp?

she also has protein loss in her urine- very large amounts. her ratio is 6.7. down from 7.4 but still wayyyy too high. she is on benazepril to help with that 2 x's a day. it is not helping her bp though. her bun is 65. (also extremely high)
