Side Effects to Ketoconazole:A call to Dr Kaya on Monday Morning

Recently we took Lacey off the Super5Mix Small Breed and she’s been eating Halo’s for the most part.She does get people food,canned food etc but what’s puzzling me is that even though she’s been off the Small Breed for almost 4 days I would think her bowels would get better(Much firmer and not so much soft,loose formed bowels)but although her bowels has gotten better from when she was on the Small Breed it’s not up to regular standards.One thing that did cross my mind was it could be the Ketoconazole she was having side effects to.For right now she does have to take the medicine but I am going to call up VCA just to let them know what’s going on and if they want us to keep her on the Ketoconazole or try something else.It’s really their call but I think it’s better to let them know how she’s doing with the medicine.

Email Response from Castor & Pollux

We have received an email response from Castor & Pollux regarding “Samples of dog food”.Here’s what they said:
We have two unique lines of dog foods – Organix, our certified organic line of dry and canned food and treats that’s made in compliance with the USDA’s National Organic Program, and Natural Ultramix, our natural option that features a minimum of five meat-based protein sources and real fruits/veggies blended with the kibble. All of our formulas are developed by our PhD Animal Nutritionist to be complete and balanced. They taste great too!

Organix offers the benefits of being a certified organic food along with outstanding palatability and digestibility. In fact, the #1 ingredient in Organix dry formulas is certified organic, free range chicken – the same that you’d buy for yourself at your local natural food store! Under the USDA’s National Organic Program, each and every ingredient in Organix must be reviewed and approved by the organic certifying agency for inclusion in Organix. From the field and farm through to the handling, processing and manufacturing of Organix, each step must be certified organic. This extremely rigorous regulatory program is not applicable to pet foods that are natural, holistic or human grade. For more information on what it means to be certified organic, please visit our website (www.castorpolluxpet.com) and click on Your Questions to be taken to the link.

Natural Ultramix is our natural option for pet parents who are not quite ready to go organic. Natural Ultramix provides a high meat-based protein diet that’s highly bioavailable along with the natural benefits of real pieces of fruits and veggies blended with the kibble. From a product safety standpoint, ALL of our Natural Ultramix and Organix products are tested for melamine and cyanuric acid, salmonella and other toxins BEFORE they are released for sale.

I do apologize we do not have samples of our dog formulas at this time, but here’s how easy it is to try Organix and Natural Ultramix – all of our products are unconditionally guaranteed. If you or your dog are not entirely satisfied, just call or e-mail us. We’ll refund your purchase or send you a replacement product right away – you don’t need to go back to the store! I can send coupons to you too; if you would like to provide me with your address information, we’ll put them in the mail right away!

Thank you for being such a wonderful pet parent! We are a small, family company that is committed to providing safe, healthy, natural and organic products for dogs and cats. We’re all pet parents ourselves and take this commitment very, very seriously.

I have emailed them for coupons of the dog food just in case we need a back up for Lacey.I mentioned right now we are between trying different brands for Lacey and it would be helpful if we got a coupon as a back up.
Note:So far Castor & Pollux is the only other line I have okayed besides Halo’s & Wellness.I will consider other options but would like to try Wellness first & then Castor & Pollux even if it means ordering it online.I did get a response from Wellness and am considering calling them tomorrow just to see what their input is before we return the bag to try the Lamb,Barley and Salmon from their Super5Mix line.
Update:regretfully,we couldn’t find the receipt for The Pet Spot where we got Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed but I do believe it is the amount of fish that was causing her soft bowels.I am very sad to give up on the Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed but I have to do what is best for Lacey not myself.After all,she is the one eating the dog food not me!

Lacey on Wellness Super5mix

So far,Lacey has had very little of the Wellness Super5Mix and still resulting in soft poo.However,we won’t stop giving her the Super5mix yet…to see if her tummy improves within time maybe a couple weeks..and if it doesn’t try giving her some canned pumpkin…if that still doesn’t work maybe she can’t tolerate the Super5mix and we should try Wellness Core.More updates on Lacey success to the Wellness Super5Mix as time goes on..This is the latest update..
