Hi rubles
My Daisy is on the same meds plus Zitac .August 2011 she went on Zitac 50 mg three times a day which didn't seem to me to benefit her from what I could see
then this June her Neuro added in Gabapentin 100 mg twice daily and again to me it seemed to have no effect on her then August we added in Omeprazole 10 mg
and bingo hardly any scartching at all .We go back early Nov and her Neuro may take her off Zitac but as this and her Omeprazole work in diffferent ways ie one
lessens production of CSF and other controls amount of CSF already produced I don't know what she will advise .
I have taken a photo of her Gabapentin and the Omeprazole that she takes and as you see the Omeprazole is only a small tablet ,both are given wrapped in a tiny
bit of cheese to tempt Daisy so she has no trouble taking either .
My wife Dawn has been having some medical problems recently and one of her meds is Omeprazole 20 mg and apart from the amount of med in each they both seem
identical in the drug compounds used so I can't see any reason why the human variety you suggest can't be given .When my girls are given any meds not yet tested and
passed for animal use the doggy hospital always give me a verbal warning about this together with an info sheet about that particular drug .
Hope of some help ,there are many here with far greater knowledge than I so if any of my comments are incorrect I am sure someone will be one very shortly to correct
anything that is wrong .My best wishes to you and Charlie in dealing with this terrible thing though with my Daisy she also has a Grade 4 murmur which I consider that to
be her biggest challenge by far ,but I must also say that neither problem so far seems to have any effect on her zest for life so she is still the same mischevious Daisy she
was when a pup .
