Pimobendan is indicated for the management of the signs of mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure in dogs due to clinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); [1] [7] and for use with concurrent therapy for congestive heart failure (e.g.,furosemide, etc.) as appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

bedinvetmab - nerve growth factor inhibitor monoclonal antibody used for osteoarthritis in dogs; benazepril – ACE-inhibitor used in heart failure, hypertension, chronic kidney failure and protein-losing nephropathy; bethanechol – stimulates bladder contractions, tranquilizer, makes the patient feel no pain; bexagliflozin - oral antidiabetic ...
Metolazone may be combined with other diuretics (typically loop diuretics) to treat diuretic resistance in congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and nephrotic syndrome. [3] Metolazone and a loop diuretic will synergistically enhance diuresis over the use of either agent alone.
Type 2 diabetes can develop in dogs, although it is not as prevalent as type 1. [9] Because of this, there is no possibility the permanently damaged pancreatic beta cells could re-activate to engender a remission as may be possible with some feline diabetes cases, where the primary type of diabetes is type 2. [10] [11] [12] Gestational diabetes ...
However, for torsemide and bumetanide, their oral bioavailability is consistently higher than 90%. Torsemide has a longer half life in heart failure patients (6 hours) than furosemide (2.7 hours). A 40 mg dose of furosemide is clinically equivalent to a 20 mg dose of torsemide and to a 1 mg dose of bumetanide. [6]
The first dog trained to detect hypoglycemia was a Californian dog called Armstrong in 2003. [5] In 2009, a dog named Tinker from Durham City became the first self-taught British assistance dog to be officially registered for a type 2 diabetic owner. He was able to give his owner Paul Jackson up to half an hour warning before an attack occurred ...
Unlike mannitol, glucose is commonly found in the blood. However, in certain conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, the concentration of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) exceeds the maximum reabsorption capacity of the kidney. When this happens, glucose remains in the filtrate, leading to the osmotic retention of water in the urine.
They are typically used as an adjunct in management of hypertension, cirrhosis, and congestive heart failure. [3] The steroidal aldosterone antagonists can also be used for treatment of primary hyperaldosteronism. Spironolactone, a steroidal aldosterone antagonist, is also used in management of female hirsutism and acne from PCOS or other ...
