The vets are trying the ursodial to see if it helps? When Tink took it, she had to take it for 8 months, and I believe they said it takes a month or more to start working. Did Gall Bladder issues show in her bloodwork or any other tests?
You mentioned that Denamarin was a big pill for her. They make different sizes, the first is a small round pill, for cats and dogs up to 12 lbs. Tink is on the next size, up to 34 lbs, and it's an oblong tablet. She gets it on an empty stomach, 1 hour before a meal (as stated on the box). I have to use a pill popper on her, bc these meds cannot be chewed or broken, as they will not work. Nutramax Labs does make a chewable form of Denamarin (Tink did not care for it).
Hope this helps... |
Yes, she has gall stones.
I will see how it goes tonight with her meds. She is not in the fighting mood she was in ... so maybe I will get that thing down her. It is the small one! It is blue...it is just that she is very tiny and has a tiny mouth. I use the pill popper and the pills come right back out...so I use my finger when that happens. She is a mess! I will look into that chewable if I cannot get her to keep these down...thanks for letting me know about them!
