Canine Epilepsy Canine epilepsy can be a challenging condition for both pets and their owners, often requiring a carefully tailored treatment plan.
Diazepam rectal cream emerges as a unique and effective solution aimed at controlling seizure in dogs quickly. This innovative treatment offers rapid absorption of drug, allowing swift action during acute seizure episodes. Bypassing oral administration may be wise due to the contractility of muscles associated with seizures where the animal may not be as cooperative as normal.
Unlike traditional oral medications, rectal cream provides a practical option for pet owners who may struggle administering pills or liquid to their companions, particularly in emergency situations where prompt intervention is necessary. The rectal cream offers predictable and consistent absorption of diazepam, enhancing efficacy to manage seizures since the area is highly vascularized. Rectal cream minimizes variability of how much the animal actual ingested if difficult to dose, ensuring measured and reliable dosing.
Diazepam rectal cream showcases advancements in drug delivery methods that can improve quality of life for pet owners and pets alike dealing with epilepsy. We are happy to discuss treatment options to deliver specific dosing regimens for your canine’s needs.
Diazepam rectal cream for canines: 2mg/kg at onset of seizure and up to 3 times within a 24 hour period. Stay with dog 1 hour after administration
