    • Hrushikesh Karandikar is the female neutered? many times in cases of pyometra you get PU/PD. ask the onwer when the female came in heat. and why is she on enrofloxacin? you suspect vaginitis or any urinary track infection? ask the owner if she is scooting or licking her vagina. you can also add haem-up or dexorange if you find pale mucous membrane and PCV on bit of lower side.endocrine diseases is a bit late for 12 yrs old dog..

    • Gautam Unny Mannitol is used at1g/kg body weight, and i have used it for meningitis, glaucoma and to induce urination when there is total anuria. it needs to be given slow and is very safe. it can be used whenever u suspect any increase in intracranial pressure.

    • Ashwin Nambiar Dr Gautam, do you go in for any diagnostic tests (physical or lab) in case of suspected CNS/ PNS disorders or is the line of treatment mainly symptomatic?

    • Saurabh Saxena i have not used mannitol as i do not have much confidence in it but my pg seniors in college used it regularly in accident cases to make sure internal organs are working fine??can it be used this way also??

      ‎@ashwin if time permits we do go for tests, but in most cases of meningitis/encephalitis/ injury mannitol is needed immidiately. very recently, i remember a case of epilepsy with the dog presing her head against the wall, and we gave manni...See More

    • Swarupmay Majumdar bodys temp is maintained by hypothalamus. in case of cranial injury thypothalamus also may be involved. that may be reason for reduced temp. one mmore reson could be, the dog had a lower perfusion to its organs due to shock. use other fluids too with mannitol in such cases. think about mannitol after giving fluid for shock reversal. Gautam sir, Am I not correct?

we have seen many cases of anorexia in dogs when the owner is absent and I think that is related with the bond that he misses.
Feline OCD can lead to anorexia due to hair ball formation inside the gut.

Toy breeds can be anorexic if they miss their owners. Sometimes they also simply demand alteration in the diet, i have seen many dogs becoming anorexic for days after being fed chicken, and recover miraculously when given chicken again. if the dog is active, energetic and not having fever i normally ignore anorexia for a couple of days

Swarupmay Majumdar Enrofloxacin can cause blindness in cats, gentamicin not a very good choice in many cases and post littering, clindamycin -very hepatotoxic and of limited use, cephadex used sporadicly .. but Amoxyclav is preferable above anything as antibiotics for cats. Can someone from our vet friends ,please, tell us how to chose a...n antibiotics for cat? I feel I need some suggestions

i choose an antibiotic based on the hydration status of the patient. if the patient is well hydrated i prefer genta or amikacin. Ii use ceftriaxone when the owner can come only once a day. for oral use i prefer amoxy-clav

If there is no entropion; if a case of chronic conjunctivitis as in herpes infection can attempt to treat with ab and steroid oint. after r/o an ulcer; u coud also try to flush the duct; if the cat is not bothered other wise it might be just normal given the breed
