good pt but .... just a FYI that I just learned is the same in humans and cats / dogs ... metabolized there does not = can damage ... I too thought that till my vet set me strait about my dogs antihystamine ... see the dog HAS liver issues and I was leary of continuing a drug that the liver broke down...Originally Posted by courtney_ou
get the liver panels. ive had epilepsy my entire life and ive taken pretty much every antiseizure med on the market (the same ones they give to kitties) with the exception of one or 2, they cause liver problems.
diazepam (valium) is metabolized in the liver!
GET THE LIVER PANELS!
yup that is what I do ....Originally Posted by kittycorner
atleast once a year, unless she has problems then every 6 mos.
im well aware of that. i was merely stating that AEDs can cause liver probs and liver panels should be done as a precaution in to catch liver probs should they develop.Originally Posted by sharky
