Please watch Zaccheus closely and if there any sign of him being very lethargic and not feeling like even getting up, stop giving him the medication and contact his doctor.
I HAD that one in a few million little baby girl. I trusted the vet. Never gave a second thought to the risk the medication posed. Now my little Savannah angel is gone and I'm still grieving 6 months later..
Get on the internet. Research the complications that 'may' occur with EVERY medication the vet prescribes.
Decide if the risk is acceptable to you.
You WON'T always receive the sheet that contains all the contraindications on it. So make SURE you get that information and discuss any concerns about the medications with your vet.
The life you save may be that of Zaccheus.
Best of luck to you and little Zaccheus. |
Thank you Jim.
I remember your little Savannah, and her sad, sad story.
I will be sure to watch Zacchie very closely for any signs of adverse reactions.
I know you are still missing your little angel, and thankful that you are watching this board to keep others aware of the dangers we don't always think about.
Hugs to you.
