Are Malacetic & Tresaderm safe with prednisone & bronchodilators?

Yes, those medications are safe to give together. However, they should be given at appropriate dosages and under the direction of a veterinarian. The veterinary drug that is equivalent to Augmentin is Clavamox.

If I'm understanding her medication plan correctly, I'm a bit concerned because Metacam and prednisolone should not be given together - this combination of drugs can cause serious side effects such as stomach ulcers and internal bleeding, and I do not know of any veterinarians who would recommend giving both at the same time. I would recommend calling your vet in the morning to clarify the medication instructions, because it could be very dangerous for Peapumpkin to take both of these medications at once.

These signs may be from the prednisolone which is a steroid. It would be better to call your vet to discuss decreasing the dose to reduce the symptoms. Benadryl does not always cause sedation and in some dogs can cause hyperexcitabilty. But, yes you can give all 3 together safely. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Fighting secondary skin infections and allergies is tough. Drugs like prednisone and Apoquel are used to control inflammation. In some cases, we add a drug in an effort to taper prednisone if long term immunosuppression is needed. Ideally, long term immunosuppressives should be avoided but in some cases are needed. You should consider discussing referral to a veterinary dermatologist for intradermal skin testing.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Chicken Noodle. Such a cute name! It is fine to give her the heart worm pill even though she is on prednisone. There is no interaction. I hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your question about Romeo. Since the course of the prednisone was very short it is often not necessary to taper the medication. Based on the information that I have found about DermaVet I believe it is safe to use both at the same time. Of course if you notice Romeo develops any symptoms such as decreased appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea I would recommend having him rechecked by your veterinarian. Hope this helps, glad to hear he is feeling better!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Steroid use, dosing and the taper needs to be decided upon by a Vet that has examined the pet. We can not prescribe drugs or tell you how to use a drug because we legally are not allowed to. I am sorry. I recommend calling your Vet and asking them since they have a legal relationship with you. Have a great day!
