Q

In which species is phenylbutazone toxic

A

Cats

(Causes aplastic anemia & bone marrow depression)

26
Q

Disposition of phenylbutazone

A
  • metabolized by liver
  • highly protein bound
  • excreted in urine (more alkaline urine increases excretion)
27
Q

Adverse effects of phenylbutazone

A
  • narrow therapeutic index

(Use high end dose for short pd. Duration)

  • GI ulceration
  • low serum protein conc.
  • extravasation of IV product (cervical tissue necrosis)
  • renal papillary necrosis (if given wrong)
28
Q

What do you treat gastric ulcers w/?

A
  • proton pump inhib. (Omeprazole)
  • PGE replacement (misoprostol)
  • supportive care (IV fluids, correct acid/base disturb. & electrolyte abnorm.)
29
Q

What happens if Cox1:Cox2 <1?

A
  • less drug to inhibit COX1
    (More COX 1. Activity)
30
Q

What happens if COX1:COX2>1

A
  • More drug to inhibit COX1

OR

  • More potent for COX2
31
Q

COX1 selective ratio drugs (ratio<1)

A

Aspirin, ketoprofen, phenylbutazole, flunixin, piroxicam, ibuprofen, naproxen

32
Q

COX2 preferential (ratio>1-100:1)

A

Carprofen, etodolac, meloxicam

33
Q

COX2 Selective (ratio>100-1000:1)

A

Firocoxib, robenacoxib, deracoxib

34
Q

Carprofen forms

A
  • injection, tablets, chews
35
Q

Carprofen is a

A

Proprionic acid

36
Q

Why should you be cautious w/ giving K9s carprofen chews?

A

Dogs think they’re treats, so if they gain access to the container, its easy for them to OD

37
Q

Uses of carprofen

A
  • 1st COX2 preferential drug approved for use in animals
  • in animals: >6 wks, K9s being treated form OA, post-op pain mgmt
38
Q

Why would carprofen be used in K9 puppies >6 wks old

A
  • parvo
  • trauma (pediatric spays & neuters)
39
Q

Adverse effects of carprofen

A
  • one of the safer NSAIDS
  • gastric ulceration
  • hepatotoxicity
  • renal tubular disease
40
Q

Hepatotoxicity caused by carprofen

A
  • common in old patients
  • seen w/ concurrent use of phenobarb.
  • need to monitor carefully (liver enzymes & funct)
41
Q

Forms of meloxicam

A

Tablet, oral susp., inj.

42
Q

Therapeutic use of meloxicam

A
  • OA in K9
  • Cats post-op pain
43
Q

Adverse events in cats using meloxicam
