My Yorkie ate Benazepril for a larger animal. Will she be okay?
Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. At the high end of the dose range for Benazepril, Maui's dose would be about 13.6mg so she has not had a toxic dose. You may see symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, etc. If you see these symptoms, I would get her in to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Otherwise, just keep monitoring her for the time being. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

My dog takes Carprofen. Can he also take Benazepril for kidney health?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Buddy. I have used these medications together in dogs before when necessary. That being said, kidney values, blood pressure and the amount of protein in the urine needs to be closely monitored. I typically will recheck a blood pressure reading within the first week of starting benazapril. Then I will follow up by taking a blood sample several weeks later. Kidney values need followed not only for elevations above normal, but also trends upwards that are still in the normal range. With close monitoring, problems can be identified early and doses or medications can be changed if needed. I hope this information helps!

My cat has HCM. What are the best treatment options for her heart?
It appears that nebivolol is being researched for many different possible uses in many lab animal species, but I could not find any information on its use in cats. From the information I could find, most vets have mixed feelings on using atenolol in cats with HCM. There does seem to be a consensus among specialists that it could help in cats with HCM that have Systolic Anterior Motion (SAM) of the mitral valve (seen on echo), but there are no studies showing a positive benefit.

How to give my feisty cat Giardia medicine he'll actually eat?
Giardia can only be treated with either Metronidazole or Fenbendazole at the appropriate dose for your cats weight. I would consult your vet for the appropriate dosage for your cat since they have examined him before. Veterinary client patient relationship act says that a pet has to be examined by said vet who prescribed that pet medicaiton. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.
