Metacam identifies several meloxicam-based presentations. Products, concentrations and indications must not be transferred from one species to another.
Palladia is not a general treatment for all tumours and must not be extended to cats. It is a veterinary oncology treatment that requires monitoring.
Advocate formulations for dogs and cats are not interchangeable. Concentrations, packs and indications must be treated separately.
Cardotek Plus must be described using the composition and indications of the current Italian presentation. It does not contain praziquantel.
Simparica includes medicines intended for dogs. All information must refer to the exact presentation and its summary of product characteristics.
Having the same active substance, afoxolaner, does not automatically make two medicines equivalent. The comparison must follow their respective summaries of product characteristics.
Apoquel is a prescription medicine. The treatment decision, treatment phases and monitoring are the veterinarian’s responsibility.
The duration and indications of Bravecto vary according to the formulation and parasite. The relevant official document is authoritative for each pack.
Symptoms and visible worms do not always identify the parasite. Home remedies and products chosen without a diagnosis may be ineffective or risky.
Preparation starts before the event: up-to-date identification, a secure environment, earlier walks and an accessible refuge all reduce risks.
Destruction, vocalisation or toileting when the owner is absent can have different causes. Video recordings and professional assessment help identify the problem.
Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens affect different sites and have different implications. Testing and prevention must be planned according to risk.
