The vet heard back from the veterinary pharmacologist on her board. He validated the concern about interaction between Omeprazole and Methimazole, both being bone marrow suppressants, with Methimazole the more toxic of the two. The vet would like me to taper him off Omeprazole. The pharmacist suggested that if it were necessary to give both, that sam-e would help minimize interaction. We were going to try giving that to Bear anyway, to help with possible cognitive dysfunction. It's on order. We are going to recheck T4/CBC/B12 in 4 weeks.

Thanks to Sienne, who was the person who first alerted me to the Omprazole/Methimazole interaction issue.

Re: 1/2 Bear Man recap

I'm glad I could do something! You have your hands full and do an incredible job with Bear and Teddy. Frankly, how I see the value of this Board is that there are a lot of us who visit and read and research (or like to do the reading and research -- I'm a research geek). The more eyes the better.

If it were not for this board ...

If it were not for Lantus Land, and the ADVICE and support that I have received here, my cat would not be alive today. It distresses me to see this place threatened.

I'm hoping this discovery will help Bearman feel better soon.

Good catch Sienne.

 

[Kathy and Kitty]

I hear you on all counts, Linda. My Kitty would be gone without Lantus Land. Call it whatever you want -- experience, references, input, guidance -- Kitty is alive because of the shared knowledge here.
