What I want to share with you and what I've already posted on YT is that if your boy is currently taking Theophylline, as my girl is, then please make sure you are using the Barr pharmaceutical brand. This company was recently bought by TEVA pharmaceuticals. My 100mg pill has the imprint code PLIVA / 483 and is an extended release drug. It is imperative that the pill NOT be crushed or taken in a liquid form. I found that Kissy will swallow it being hid in a little liverwurst.
I've blogged and posted a thread with the link and how you can findt he exact pill that my Kissy now uses found under:Theophylline - Enlarged heart (Cardiomegaly)and Collapsed Airway Disease . She was so close to death with both conditions and has done a complete 180. It takes a while to get it into their systems and she must take 1/4 tablet 2x per day. I hope this will help you, as many vets prescribed the pill, like my regular vet did and it was the wrong manufacturer. The specialist told me to throw it away and he ONLY uses the Barr manufacturer.
Good luck and I am thinking of you and Cupid! |
Cupid was just put on the liquid form of this....I will have to check out what manufacturer...I was told he was to small for the pill form...we had to have to specially componded for him....
