    Hey Louise!

    Hope you have had a lovely weekend. We also have two full webinars that discuss probiotics and nothing else!

    Update on probiotics in canine gastroenterology

    Update on probiotics in cats: What is the evidence?

    Hope that helps!

    Hey.

    As far as I am aware there are no studies directly comparing mirtazapine and capromorelin.

    Generally it is considered a safe drug, but I have seen more side effects in dogs and cats:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29057482/

    They mostly salivate and hate the taste of this but I have seen people report more severe reactions (decreases in blood pressure).

    Generally, I have found it to be more effective than mirtazapine in cats.

    Hey Rosie.

    I hope you are well. This is a great question. I do think it is a reasonable choice for patients with CKD. As with all drugs and CKD patients we do need to monitor them carefully.

    Capromorelin is now actually approved as a formulation for cats for CKD anorexia in the states:

    https://www.elanco.us/products-services/cats/elura#:~:text=Elura%20is%20a%20first%2Din,of%20growth%20hormone%20(GH).

    I am not sure that we have specific data about whether we have to specifically dose reduce, so I would use as prescribed and monitor carefully.

    Hope that helps. Have a lovely weekend.
