In reply to Edgar Maxwell. Hi Edgar. It sounds like your dog needs another check up with her vet. We suggest giving them a call today. Please do let them know about her change in stools, as well as the lethargy, and consult with them before stopping or starting any medications. We do hope your girl feels better soon.

My lab-mix ( 7 years old) was prescribed
Temaril-P by our vet (twice daily on August 25 for a 10 day period) for heavy panting: even inside our 100% air conditioned home. Our dog got a VERY VERY short haircut by a trained groomer on August 26 ( even though her coat was NOT thick to begin with) Since the haircut she has stopped
panting inside our home. My concern is that her stools are a very dark black (different than her normal Brown stool) ; she is also lethargic.
Can I stop giving her the MEDICINE ??

My vet gave this medicine to my 8 year old Pitt Fiona for allergies. It was amazing how quickly she stopped scratching and itching.

In reply to Dalia. Veterinarians make very little profit margin on Temaril P, it is an expensive drug. ANY dog can have an adverse reaction to any medication, just as people can. I got horrible hives when I took a certain medication, but I didn't suddenly blame the medications creator for them, nor did I raise a commotion about my doctor being a big pharma shill. No, that particular medication has helped millions of people, just as Temaril P has helped millions of dogs. Is it 100% wonderful and without side effects? Absolutely not, it has a steroid component. But to claim that vets are money grubbing thieves just because your dog didn't agree with one single medication is obscene. Medications have side effects. People like you are the reason vets are offing themselves at alarming rates.

In reply to Dottie. I hate this medication. It has ruined my dog seeing her not active anymore. What used to be her playing with her toys, running around happily has turned into a nightmare her moping and depress under the dinner table. Doctors say it makes them sleepy or seemingly lethargic. No, it does not makes them depress & all they care about is making money off this medication that ruins the lives of these furry animals. I’m passed aggravated and upset hoping and praying that when she’s off this she’ll return back to normal. As I hope for others who are having the same nightmare. I feel this medication shouldn’t even be in the market!

My Frenchie was starting to have the breathing/nasal issues they often get. I thought I was in for the 20k surgery. It was horric watching him and not able to help.

My vet gave Oz this medication. Half pull at first and that was a bit too much. Oz is down to just a crumb of a full dose. Still no more additional problems without the expensive surgery.

Our Yorkie has had lots of neurological problems due to abuse by his former owners. Closed head trauma. So he has lots of issues with spasms, arthritis , PTSD, etc. We got him at 7 months old and he is now approaching 15 years. Alley has developed what we thought was collapsing trachea. Doc says heart and lungs sound good. He can’t get him to produce the collapse in the office. So he thought allergies. We discussed his diet. grain free kibble, with home made wet. Vet put him on the Temaril-P. We reduced to half pill 2x day. still has episodes. noticing muscle weakness in hind quarters. really aggravating the neuro symptoms from the abuse. Has anyone here tried a full spectrum CBD oil to control this to get their babies off of prednisone?

Our Olde English bulldogge was prescribed Temaril P for hives. She had the best temperament of any dog we ever had. Within days of starting the Temaril, she became incredibly aggressive and attacked our Boston Terrier three times in one week.

The medication ruined the relationship. Even after she was weened (immediately took her off it), it took weeks for her temperament to return to normal; sadly, though, no amount of retraining ever eradicated the aggression she could display at any second toward our Boston. He was heartbroken from the turn of events. He developed a heart tumor and died within 18 months.

If I could go back in time and change any one thing about my bulldogge’s life, it would be to refuse the Temaril P as a treatment for her. The side effects had devastating results.

I wish it was law that vets had to tell patients about any medications with such possible side effects. From now on, I always ask specifically if such side effects exist.

I have a 2 yr old 9.5 lb. Yorkie poodle mix. Vet put her on this for seasonal allergies. Wish I never gave it to her. Lethargic, joint pain,she looks horrible. The pain is what killed me and I am hoping it goes away after finishing the meds..vet didn’t seem to care about how she was maybe I should find a different vet. I will never put her on this again.
