This story is about my dog. His name is Miko and he's been on a myriad of meds to treat his allergies. For the most part he's allergic to grass (certain kinds) and some kinds of pollen which sucks for a dog since they love being outside. The symptoms come up as hair loss and itching which can lead to secondary infections. I tried everything until my Vet agreed to put him on Atopica, an allergy medication that works miracles.
My only gripe are the dosage adjustments. Miko starts off by taking very high amounts, slowly tapering off until he gets down to 1 pill a day. He's already taking vitamins and fish oil caps so I'm constantly shoving things down his throat multiple times a day. I feel bad for him and wish there were a more streamline way of delivering adjusted dosages. So the above image is an example of how I'd like to see some meds packaged.
BTW, Miko is all better now.
have you seen those little treat things at the pet foods stores? they're made like pockets to hide pills in for pups like Miko, who are totally on to you with the pills.
hope Miko stays well! i always felt so bad for the allergy dogs that came into the clinic i worked at.
