My dog is on Clopidogrel. Can I give him Onsior for pain relief?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and double-checking if these medications are safe to use together. Clopidogrel and Onsior are safe to give at the same time, as long as they are medications that are both prescribed by your veterinarian to be used by Jack. Onsior is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication that should not be used if cats have underlying liver or kidney disease, as Onsior can make these diseases worse. If the Onsior has been prescribed by your veterinarian for Jack (and not a different cat in the house) it is OK to give him this along with the Clopidogrel he usually receives. If the Onsior has been prescribed for a different cat in the household, I would not give this to Jack without Jack first being evaluated by your veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!

I crushed my cat's Onsior. Will she be okay or have side effects?
Onsior is best given as a whole tablet. Crushing it is not ideal. It will not harm her or cause side effects, it just may not be as efficacious. Have you tried giving the tablet in a Pill Pocket? Typically they will eat the tablet whole that way. ( ) Give her a couple with nothing inside. Make sure she likes and eat is and then hide the tablet in one. I would try that first.

My pet is hurting. What are Antirobe, Apoquel, Rimadyl, Cephalexin?
Apoquel- for controlling atopic dermatitis (allergies) Antirobe- antibiotic usually for the mouth Rimadyl- anti-inflammatory, has many uses Cephalexin- antibiotic used for many different organs including bladder, skin, abdominal organs, etc I am not sure what is hurting him however if you feel he is in pain then it's best to take him to your vet for proper pain management or discuss humane euthanasia. I am sorry your pet is in such critical condition and hope you can get him some help soon.

Vet Q & A
How to get prescription flea chews for my dog without a vet?
Unfortunately we cannot provide any prescription through this website as legally we would need to physically assess your Oliver to be able to prescribe any medication. Unfortunately the only way to have an OTC flea treatment is to buy one at the local pet shop if a local vet is not available.

My senior dog has arthritis on Onsior. Can she get more pain relief?
Yes, I think Honey would benefit from some extra pain relief. I would speak to her vet about having a prescription for another pain reliever for her, such as an opioid which can be used safely in combination with NDSAIDs (Onsior is an NDSAID).
