Pamidronate
Također poznato kao: Aredia
Pamidronate is administered as a slow intravenous drip at the veterinary hospital. * It is used to treat dangerously high blood calcium levels or to help relieve pain from bone cancer. * Because it can affect the kidneys and blood salt levels, your veterinarian will likely recommend blood tests before and after treatment to monitor kidney function, calcium, and phosphorus levels. * Let your vet know immediately if your pet experiences vomiting, diarrhea, muscle twitching, or extreme lethargy after treatment.
Dosage must be set by your veterinarian for your specific pet. Never give human medication or another pet’s prescription without veterinary guidance.
