ramonaghan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Can someone just check me and make sure this schedule of Pepcid/Rimadyl/food looks okay? Sweep started Rimadyl yesterday after Meloxicam didn't agree with her; she had a full week washout between them. She had Rimadyl last year very short-term and seemed to do okay on it, but she was only getting it once a day then so I want to check my timing here. 7am: 10mg plain (famotidine only) Pepcid 7:30: breakfast (1 cup GB Iams) and 1st Rimadyl dose (smidge under 75mg) 4:30: dinner (1 cup GB Iams) 7pm: 10mg Pepcid 7:30: slice of bread and 2nd Rimadyl dose (smidge under 75mg) Full disclosure: the Pepcid is our own doing -- the vet didn't mention it -- but I'm paranoid about ulcers/bleeding. Starting tonight I might give less kibble at dinnertime and give her the rest instead of bread before dose #2. She's finally lost a few pounds and I don't want to undo that! Her weight on Monday was slightly under 65 lbs. Thanks! Edited November 12, 2015 by ramonaghan Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

JohnF Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That's a good plan. There is a kaolin-based probiotic you can use if necessary too, and If you get super gurgling tummy then a human Buscopan tab can be given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
