I have used Hycodan (syrup, not pills). Actually used that and Torbutrol at the same time. Just interchanged them which did seem to help.
Ask your vet about trying Lomotil. If he has never heard of using it for ct, tell him it is in Kirk's Veterinary Therapy. I had great results with that as did a friend of mine with her ct pupster.
Keeping their weight down is very important and keeping them in air conditioning helps. Also, a stress free environment is best.
I personally would never do the surgery on ct. I have yet to see a success story and with my last ct pup I was advised against it by three vets. There are some who will do it.....but, I would ask them for the percentages of their successes! |
