Side effects in dogs, cats and horses.Severity of side effects? Many animals show they areoplasmation, nervousness, lethargy, increased appetite, reduced appetite, reduced skin elasticity, facial swelling, worsen sleeping disorder, breathing difficulties, and allergic reactions. Some animals even exhibit allergic dermatitis. These side effects are more likely in animals with a history of lupus or other skin disorders. Allergic reactions can also occur to hairless skin around the eyes and ears (allergicTERNAL urticaria). If these occur, stop treatment and see your veterinarian before beginning the next cycle of therapy. Diarrhea can occur as a side effect or follow aytrophic growths that usually subside as the body adjusts to the drug. Rarely, fatal lupus reactions occur. Some lupus-related allergic reactions can be self-limiting or can be life-threatening. If your pet has severe side effects, contact your veterinarian immediately. These can be signs of a new infection, ulcer, or upset stomach. Reports of fatal lupus-related allergic reactions in dogs, cats and horses are still a matter of debate; however, tetracyclines like doxycycline are a valuable treatment option for these disorders. Tetracyclines self-limiting, even in small animals, are not recommended. Contact your veterinarian if the lupus side effects become severe or go away within a few days. Self-limiting diseases are a treatable condition. However, tetracyclines self-limiting in cats and dogs can cause urinary symptoms if given concurrently with food. Feline lupus erythematosus (an eye disease) can cause a sudden pigmentary reaction in which the whites of the eyes are darker than the other areas of the body, and these reactions are light- or pale-purple in color. Although these signs are self-limiting in cats, they may indicate a new infection. This reaction is self-limiting in feline lupus. If your pet is allergic to doxycycline, try using aidelix (idelixin) twice daily to help eliminate the tetracycline antibiotic. This may help minimize the incidence of side effects in the long run.
This medication should only be given to the pet that shows signs of self-limiting disease. Do not Give any other medications that contain tetracycline antibiotic within the past 30 days. This includes prescription, nonprescription, and herbal medications. The use of tetracyclines in the treatment of lupus in cats and dogs is unknown. It is unknown if tetracycline use in the treatment of lupus in dogs can be safely and effectively used by dogs with lupus.
Other side effects that can occur with similar drugs include vaginal itching, irritation, burning, tearing or bleeding, mental changes (such as anxiety, depression, unusual behavior) and skin photosensitivity. If these side effects are severe, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Also, inform your veterinarian if the medication can make you urinating less than your prescribed amount. Low Blood Pressure Medication In dogs, it has been shown to decrease the amount of blood that is drawn from the lungs, and in some cases, can be harmful. Using doxycycline for the treatment of dogs with lupus in horses is unknown. However, tetracyclines may help lower blood pressure in this species. Your veterinarian may prescribe a lower dose of doxycycline for the treatment of dogs with lupus. However, tetracyclines tend to be quite expensive and are not considered affordable.I've been taking antacids for a couple of years, but it doesn't seem to help.
