Weird, because I use Zyrtec too. And that means I am using dog medicine! Walgreens sells Zyrtec and my allergy doctor said to use it. What a bunch hayseed quacks prescribing me dog medicine for pollen allergies.

My dog was prescribed prednisone and tramadol the last 2 years of his life for joint problems.

I popped his tramadol occasionally for back pain and hangovers over that time.

It's probably why I'm always shitting in the yard and licking my own junk on the couch.

My dog is on Neurontin for joint pain (torn CCL). That's torn ACL on people.

Good point!
My vet suggested Benadryl to help Fido deal with 4th of July fireworks. I’m going to get on Twitter and FB and have this quack motherfricker canceled.

We have a responsibility to fight disinformation.

Right. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for SAFE human consumption for ~30 years.

Need to keep a pediatric (how big is Fido) bottle of liquid on hand for wasp or bee stings, especially when the clover is out in the Spring. It's weight based so figure that out in advance so you don't have to fumble with all of that.

Had a Golden pup 2 weeks ago swollen around the eye.

Wasn't sure if stung or something got into it. Gave him an antihistamine and was fine by morning.

Amazing isn't it.

I've been using fish mox for sinus infections for well over 10 years.

That ones even better than the guy a couple of weeks ago that said he had been taking Ivermectin for 6 weeks and the only side effect was that he grew a horse dick.

I had to give my diabetic cat insulin. Does that mean all people affected by diabetes are taking animal medicine?

I wish Dr. O'Neal would weigh in on this question.

Don’t try to combat progressives with facts. All that matters is their feelings!

I have a bottle of prednisone and Carprofen for my dachshund when it gets back pain. Although Carprofen isn’t prescribed for humans anymore.. it once was.

It’s on furosemide (lasix) and elanapril to go with vetmedin because of a bad heart valve.

It was stung by a wasp one time because it was trying to catch it. The place swelled up and I gave it Benadryl for it.
