    Cerenia KILLED my cat!! I will NEVER give one of my pets a pharmaceutical medication again! My cat had intestinal lymphoma and was was eating wel, but frequently vomiting , so I very hesitantly gave her a dose of cerenia, and within a week she was dead! Why??? Stopped her from eating and she had a neurologic reaction where her pupils were extremely dilated and she couldn't walk straight! I worked with the homeopathic doctor and we tried to reverse the effects of the drug but it did not work in time! So why don't you stop recommending drugs that can kill a pet? It absolutely infuriates me, and when I mentioned it to the emergency doctor he didn't even let me get my sentence out and he said no that's not possible! Like I'm some kind of an idiot? You can Google " "Cerenia killed my cat" and you will find story after story of the same problem!! Vets need to start working for their pets and owners and stopped working for big Pharma!

    Even if this video was sponsored I have to say it was a miracle. Our dog had chemo yesterday, came home and didn’t eat at all. We asked the oncologist for a prescription of Entyce and within an hour he ate his favorite treats and a bowl of food. Then he ate again at night. He is energized, playful and happy. Thank you so much for posting a video about this medication. It worked a miracle and I hope it will work for other pets. God bless you doctor, and all who read this message!

    Appetite stimulant is not working on my dog. We were told to switch him to a hydrolyzed diet, and now he eats even less and instead of mild diarrhea, he has full diarrhea. He is on folic, anti biotic, and we are giving him an injection for vitamin B deficiency. I can tell he is hungry. His stomach rumbles, and when I ask if he is hungry, he licks his lips. The ONLY thing he likes is Kirkland Greenies. Sometimes string cheese. We used the dental chews to get him to eat his food, by acting very happy when he ate, and then giving him one. We normally give him a cooked chicken breast with safflower oil. Now..being on all these medicines including appetite stimulant, he won't eat. Barely wanted his Kirkland Greenie. He has been kn the medications for 1.5 weeks. The Dr wants to do a endoscopy, and also insists the medicines shouldn't be giving him more diarrhea. Well then it's got to be the hydrolyzed kibble right?

    Thank you Dr Sue, I was making some of these mistakes. Today after 2 weeks dealing with syringe feeding my dog who stopped eating, I simply used all of the meds given. Sucraflate, Cerenia and Entyce. My dog finally ate a dish of food on his own. Your video was very helpful.
  • @lesbw356
    Perfect timing . Our dog (who is 13 1/2) has a suspicious growth which the Vet thinks is cancer. She is on a metronomic treatment. Her appetite is not good at times. We give her Cerenia. It is a miracle!!!!
  • @sunflower7310
    What to do with the side effects of the medicine 💊 you recommended that could impact dogs and cats ? Diarrhea, Vomiting, Drooling. Bellypain ,Nausea,Flatulence. Increased thirst,Lack of energy.
  • @elit3401
    Thank you so much for this information. I went to the vets in my area, THEY are all ANGELES OF DEATH! They only wanted to put my dog down because of a cancer tumor. They prescribed antibiotics and pain meds of about 2 months. I am sure that's what killed his appetite. We will try to get this meds and try them. God's blessings for you for trying help us.
  • @janedoe133
    Thank you Dr Sue. As we say in the UK. You are a legend! 👏🏼👏🏼💐🇬🇧😻🇺🇸
  • @ingluisantonio
    At least disclose this is Sponsored by Entyce..... BTW dogs can have extremely negative reactions to this medication. Follow your vet's advice and not an online med promotion. Dose is VERY IMPORTANT, and make sure your dog is not constipated or else the medication will not be eliminated. If your dog looks Half dead after Entyce, don't try it again. It's great foe some pets, for others it's dangerous. Your vet is paid by YOU, not by the pharma company.
  • @baharmonyy
    Thank you so much for these great tips. They encouraged me to keep trying with the medications for a few days before panicking.
  • @jlpdemail3715
    Not sure why, but Entyce is not working for my dog. She’s been on it for 9 days now, and is indifferent to food. She has kidney displasia that worsened after we had her spayed.
  • My sufferers from number 2. She will eat any human food if you let her, but when it comes to her bowl, she just smells and walks away. She will only eat it at the end of the night if I want her to eat during the daytime, I have to hand feed her. I am definitely going to try a food simulator now. Thank you so much for this great information.
  • @alcofino7149
    Thank you for letting us know that perhaps a dose or two of Entyce may not necessarily do the trick to see one’s dog start to eat on their own and/or a bit more.
  • @rawabdeh28
    Can you write the name of the medications please ??

    My girl Quinn has Lymphoma. She wasn't eating. I thought that was it for her last Saturday. She's 13½. I cooked chicken legs and thighs with broccoli. Added reishi mushrooms, ginger, turmeric, coconut oil, cinnamon, green tea and matcha ... I blended everything up using chicken broth as liquid. I used a Boba straw and syringe and force-fed her. Within 3 days she was eating on her own and drinking water again. The lymph nodes are almost completely normal again. I then added Panacur. 3 days on and 4 off. She's gained her weight back and is sassy and happy again. I know I can't make her live forever but I'm not letting starve. I will no longer feed my dogs kibble as their main diet, but only to ensure they get balanced nutrients and something crunchy for their teeth.
  • @JanelleC
    Why can’t we use the Pet Tumor Tracker app in the US?! Our three dogs have had so many lumps mapped by our vet but we’re spending extra time, worry, and money bringing them in extra times because we can’t recall which lumps have been mapped and deemed skin tags or cysts, and which are new lumps needing to be checked out. There are so many we can’t keep track and we NEED this app!
  • Elura spikes blood glucose in diabetic cats. I learned the hard way.
  • @larryb131
    To say that entyce tastes bad is a little bit of an understatement. My Labradoodle acts like you've poured hot lava down his throat when I give it to him. I would definitely recommend not giving it any time near feeding time, so they don't associate that taste with their food. I still used it, but to be honest, I am not sure if it did anything. My vet only gave me a 4 day supply. He's eating now, but I attribute that to switching him to a white rice and chicken diet for a few days to get him started back on his eating cycle.
  • @rb5078
    But cats can’t go five days without eating.
