drug for liver kidney semintra? vet calling me about it in 10 minutes

[cocheezie]

I successfully transitioned Cochise from Pepcid AC to Zantac and she has had very episodes of vomiting with the exception of a hairball or two. Talked to the vet over the phone, and he suggested we try the Semintra again. I gave her a half dose for two days. The vomiting is back. No more Semintra.

Yeah on the Zantac! 

Boo on the Semintra!

What about trying a different blood pressure med (if hypertension is the problem)?

Pepcid doesn't tough my GERD, Zantac works best for me too.  It amazes me how a drug can work so well for one person but doesn't do squat for the next or the adverse effects can be so intolerable.

Thank you.

Going to mention bp meds the next time I talk to the vet. She's continuing to do so well (for a tumour that was diagnosed nine months ago). She hunted and pounced on a mouse in the bushes last week. Made it squeak. Not bad for a dying 17-year-old cat that is declawed and only out when on a leash. This old woman has a bucket list.

The Semintra will definitely be going to the local shelter. Will talk to the head of the shelter and explain that it's a new drug and the problems I've had with it so she'll keep on eye on whatever foster it may be given to. All sick cats at this shelter are fostered out. And my vet is one of the go-to vets on call for the shelter.
