Libromide is a veterinary medicine used to help manage epilepsy in dogs. Libromide Tablets are commonly prescribed by veterinary surgeons for the long-term treatment of canine epilepsy, especially in cases where phenobarbital alone is not effective or suitable. 325mg Libromide contains the active ingredient potassium bromide, which has anticonvulsant properties. It is used either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other anti-epileptic medications to help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in dogs.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain. In dogs, it leads to recurrent seizures, which can vary in type and severity. The exact cause of epilepsy is often unknown, particularly in cases of idiopathic epilepsy, which is the most common form in dogs. However, the condition can also result from underlying health issues such as brain tumours, liver disease, head trauma, or exposure to toxins. Regardless of the cause, the goal of treatment is to reduce seizure frequency and improve the dog’s quality of life.

Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. When nerve cells (neurons) fire excessively or erratically, this can result in uncontrolled muscle movements, loss of consciousness, drooling, twitching, or other physical symptoms. In dogs with epilepsy, this activity can be triggered randomly and may occur multiple times a month or even several times in a single day. Not all seizures are the same. Some may involve the whole body (generalised seizures), while others may only affect part of the body or behaviour (focal seizures).

Libromide Tablets work by stabilising the electrical activity in the brain. Potassium bromide, the active ingredient, alters the chloride transport within neurons, increasing the seizure threshold and reducing the likelihood of seizures occurring. This helps to calm the nerve signals in the brain, making seizures less frequent and less intense. Unlike some medications, Libromide is not metabolised by the liver, which makes it a useful alternative for dogs with liver conditions or those who do not tolerate phenobarbital well.

Incurin is a prescription medication used to manage hormone-dependent urinary incontinence in female dogs. It contains estriol, a natural form of oestrogen, which helps restore control over bladder function. This medication is specifically designed for spayed female dogs experiencing involuntary urine leakage due to decreased oestrogen levels.

What is Hormone-Dependent Urinary Incontinence?

Hormone-dependent urinary incontinence is a common condition in spayed female dogs, typically occurring as they age. It results from a decline in oestrogen production following spaying. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle tone in the urethral sphincter, which is responsible for preventing urine leakage.

When oestrogen levels drop, the muscles controlling urine retention weaken, leading to involuntary leakage. This condition is also known as urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI). It can cause noticeable symptoms such as small puddles of urine left behind where the dog has been lying down or sleeping. Leakage can be infrequent or more consistent, depending on the severity of the condition.

Although the condition is not painful, it can be distressing for both the dog and the owner. Affected dogs may not realise they are leaking urine, and owners may notice damp bedding or an ammonia-like odour. Without treatment, the condition can lead to skin irritation, infections, and hygiene concerns.

Galastop 7ml is a medication used to treat false pregnancy in dogs, and it can also be used to treat mastitis. It is an oral medicine that can be fed to animals by mixing it in food or fluids.

7ml Galastop is an ergoline derivative with a potent selective and long-lasting inhibitory effect on prolactin secretion. Prolactin is the key hormone for lactogenesis and for the initiation and maintenance of lactation after parturition. Furthermore the aetiology of false pregnancy is currently thought to be mediated by rising prolactin levels stimulated by falling progesterone levels during the course of metoestrus.

Thyforon 800 is a prescription medication used to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. Each tablet contains 800 micrograms of levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). This medication helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels in dogs with an underactive thyroid, supporting their overall health and well-being. Thyforon 800 is designed to be easily administered and provides consistent hormone replacement therapy for dogs diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

How Thyforon 800 Works

Thyforon 800 contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic version of the T4 hormone that the thyroid gland naturally produces. In healthy dogs, the thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy production, and organ function. When a dog has hypothyroidism, its thyroid does not produce enough hormones, leading to various health problems.

Levothyroxine sodium works by supplementing the missing hormone, restoring normal thyroid function. Once administered, the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream and converted into triiodothyronine (T3), the active thyroid hormone. This conversion allows the dog’s body to regulate metabolism, energy levels, skin health, and organ function as it would in a healthy thyroid state.
