Pexion 400mg Tablet - per Tablet

Pexion 400mg Tablet - per Tablet

400mg Pexion is a prescription medication used to manage epilepsy in dogs. Each tablet contains 400mg of imepitoin, an antiepileptic drug that helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

Pexion is primarily used to treat idiopathic epilepsy, a common neurological disorder in dogs. It may also be prescribed for dogs suffering from noise phobia, as it has calming effects on the nervous system. Unlike some traditional epilepsy medications, Pexion has a lower risk of liver toxicity and can be a suitable long-term treatment option for many dogs.

How Pexion Works

Pexion 400mg contains imepitoin, a drug that acts on the brain’s neurotransmitters to stabilise electrical activity and prevent seizures.

Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical signals in the brain, causing sudden and uncontrolled movements, loss of consciousness, or behavioural changes. Imepitoin works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces excessive brain activity. By increasing GABA’s calming effects, Pexion helps to suppress abnormal electrical impulses and prevent seizure episodes.

Pexion also has anti-anxiety properties, which make it beneficial for dogs with noise-related anxiety, such as fear of fireworks or thunderstorms.

Thyforon 400 (Forthyron) Tablet for Dogs - per Tablet

Thyforon 400 Tablet for Dogs - per Tablet

Thyforon 400 is a veterinary medication designed to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. It contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), which replaces the deficient thyroid hormone. This condition affects a dog’s metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. Thyforon 400 helps restore thyroid hormone levels, alleviating symptoms and supporting normal physiological functions.

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in dogs, typically caused by autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland or idiopathic atrophy. The condition results in a slowed metabolism, weight gain, lethargy, and poor coat quality. Thyforon 400 is a prescription medication and must be administered under veterinary supervision.

How Thyforon 400 Works

Thyforon 400 contains levothyroxine sodium, which acts as a replacement for thyroxine (T4), the hormone normally produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is essential for regulating metabolism, body temperature, cardiovascular function, and skin and coat health.

When a dog has hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient hormones, leading to metabolic slowdown and a range of health problems. By supplementing the missing hormone, Thyforon 400 restores normal metabolic activity. The body converts levothyroxine into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of the hormone, which supports proper organ function and energy regulation.

Rabbit Bristle Brush

Rabbit Bristle Brush

Brushing your rabbit is not only a great way to keep their fur neat and clean, but it also provides an excellent opportunity to bond with your pet. Furthermore, regular grooming is essential for their overall health and wellbeing.

Rabbits naturally groom themselves frequently; however, they can't always reach or effectively groom all areas, and their grooming cannot remove all loose hair. That's where you come in.

Using a rabbit brush like this one, you should regularly brush your rabbit to remove any loose hair and prevent it from matting. The frequency of brushing may vary based on the rabbit's breed and hair length. Long-haired breeds or those shedding their coats may require daily brushing.
