How much does your baby weigh ? I'm wondering why the Omeprazole is being compounded for her.

Probably because it is a capsule that would be impossible to get the correct dose, is my guess.

It sounds expensive. I would call around to different pharmacies.

Make sure you have the dosage and concentration ie: how many mg in each cc or ml. And..the total cc or ml.

Bella weighs about 5.5 lbs and she needs 1mg to 1.25ml. If we were to buy over the counter prilosec it'll be too much since it's 20mg and it'll be hard to split that so we had to get it compounded.

Cannot be split. They are capsules so it would be impossible to get the correct dosage.

I do think you might find it somewhere else cheaper, though.

Do you mean she is taking 1 mg IN 1.25 ml? or are you confusing mg and ml?
How many mg are in each ml and how many ml are in the bottle?

Omeprizole is Prilosec, Well visa versa and is OTC. But we need the dogs weight for dosage. She needs to talk to her vet about it. Mine weighed 4 1/2 lbs and took 1/4 tab 2 times a day. A pill cutter works fine. They are oval pills not caps

It says 30 C-omeprazole 2mg/ml and to give bella .625 ml or 1.25 mg daily

I know what it is. The only ones I have seen are capsules. I have seen the Prilosec and also the generics.
Here:

Prilosec (Omeprazole) Drug Information: Uses, Side Effects, Drug Interactions and Warnings at RxList

From the site:

The active ingredient in PRILOSEC (omeprazole) Delayed-Release Capsules

How many mg is in a pill that you're giving your dog though? That will make alot of difference in splitting the pill.

I wonder if the 30 is the amount (ml) or the amount of doses in the bottle.

That is such a small amount that you totally would NEVER be able to calculate it.

I just wonder if you could find it for less money. Certainly worth calling around since you may be using more of it!

I think you might be thinking of Pepcid which is frequently given to dogs and that IS the dosage. 1/4 of a tablet!

I'm guessing the 30 means how much is in the bottle. I know I will def need more in about a month. It'll be hard to find a cheaper place especially because there's only this one compounding pharmacy in my town and that was where we got it from.

I am sure you could order it from another pharmacy in another town! Definitely worth looking in to. Might not be worth it if you have to pay for shipping, but I would ask around anyway.

I am going to be speaking with my vet tomorrow and will ask her for some ideas.

That would be nice. Let me know what your vet says. Thanks!

No it was omeprizole pepcid does not slow the production of the spinal fliud she also took Theophylline/compounded. The C before the omeprizole stands for compuonded FYI for the OP. And my baby has been in heaven for almost a year now. She passed away at 11 yrs. So I can't remember exact dosses but I do know the prilosec was in pill form and I 1/4 them with the pill cutter. She also took pred. She was diagnosed at WSU. I would discuss these meds with the Dr and mention the Theophlline. I was told that was a must. And she lived 11 yrs so they did something rite I would say.

Yes because some vets don't want to go the distance for the client to save them money.

I just did a search. You might want to call these people.

You WILL need to know how many doses are in that bottle...there has to be a number of either doses...or the total amount of ml.

I also found this.....might give you some good info about online pharmacies:

The Scoop about Online Veterinary Compounding Pharmacies | Blogs about Dogs, Cats and Pets | Petside.com

it is more expensive when they compound things as you have to pay for the compounding plus the meds

temarilp is prednisolone and tavist combined and tavist is a antihistamine so temarilp is good for allergy dogs but for your dog straight prednisolone is best as your dog does not need the tavist like an allergy dog does

temaril p has 2 mg of prednisolone in it

I will call my client who is a compound pharmacist and we are in southern california and he can ship to you and i can see what he says cost is tomorrow.

Is it 30mg bottle at 1.25ml as i know dd just took clindamyacin and it was a 25mg bottle and she took 1.2 ml daily and she is 7lbs so does this sound correct so i can call him tomorrow and ask

i contacted my friend to help you her name is pam and here is a post she wrote about gme to another woman so these are the drugs she is using so you may want to ask neurologist about this one below as i know my friend did a lot of research works with a neurologist in so cal and is on all the groups in the links i sent - did you join the groups? If it is not gme and the other possible diagnosis then maybe this will not work but please ask neurologist about this other drug she is using as my friend is in the medical profession she is a director at our local hospital very sharp lady and does her homework

here is her post

Do you think it looks like a seizure? That is what happened to my dog when she was diagnosed with GME. I actually noticed that she didn't seem to have good control over her back legs. Then she had a seizure right in front of me. It all happened over about a week or so. GME is a progressive neurological condition. But if you read about it on the internet, you will really get upset. There is treatment out there for GME dogs. My dog is now on prednisone and a immuniosupressive drug called cytosar. We are trying to get her into remission. If you think you might be seeing something like this, please see a vet neurologist right away. It is progressive and delaying diagnosis can cause permanent damage. Good luck to you and your pup.

here is some more info on cytosar

it is Chiari i think you are referring to and here is some info on it

Oddball neurologic disorders: dogs (Proceedings) - Veterinary Healthcare

Lactulose is supposed to make you poop. My grandmother takes it because she's usually constipated..I know that's more information than you'd like to know. The doctor prescribed it. That's why your baby is probably having running poo's...especially if you are giving it to her everyday.

I believe it's 30ml a bottle of omeprazole with 2mg/ml and I'm suppose to give bella .625ml daily. I would actually like to know how much it would cost because it's pretty expensive here.

Yea that, Thanks Deb:)

:) teamwork girl :)

can you ask neurologist about this ? I believe it is like cyclosporine so like atopica i believe - they may be trying steroids first then adding this later but hopefully you can connect with pam as her dog is not on that other drug only steroids and cytosar

Huh, I just read the site you put Deb. It talks about scratching at the neck, mine looked like she was trying to scratch her ears. Also another symptom that can show is severe vomiting for no apparent reason. $400.00 worth of testing all came back neg. Because it was a brain prob not a tummy prob. This happened a few diff times and almost lost her 2 times from the vomiting episodes. It was during the 3rd check for the ears that I thought maybe it's something in her brain and not her ears. Lightbulb then went on in vets head so off to WSU we went.

so glad you figured it out getting the diagnosis is tough sometimes for these little ones and why i think narrowing it down on groups like this and brainstorming helps alot and then consulting with vets and specialists
