Finding the Right Pet Meds for Your Furry Friends

The internet offers a variety of products to enhance or improve the lives of your favorite furry friends. But if you are more concerned with treating medical conditions, you'll be interested in the many medications that can be purchased online as well. Whatever ails your dog or cat, you're sure to find the right pet meds for your little friend.

One of the biggest problems for pets these days is heartworm disease. Revolution (selamectin) for Dogs is a once a month preventative of heartworm disease that also prevents and controls flea infestations. That makes it doubly effective. This topical agent kills internal parasites as well as adult fleas while it prevents flea eggs from hatching. It even helps to treat and control ear mites and sarcoptic mange. It's easy to apply, too. All you have to do is part the hair on your dog's back between the base of the neck and the shoulder blades. Then squeeze the contents of the tube directly onto the dog's skin in that spot. It begins to work immediately to ease your pup of the discomfort caused by fleas, ticks and mites, and it quickly starts to kill heartworms, too.

Revolution (selamectin) for Cats also works to protect your feline family friend from fleas, heartworms, hookworms, roundworms and ear mites. Use it in the same way that you apply it to the back of a dog's neck, and your cat will see quick results, too.

If you prefer a chewable medication for the treatment or prevention of heartworm disease, consider using Heartgard Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) Chewables for Dogs. A formulation for cats is also available. This medication is an intestinal de-wormer that treats infections of intestinal worms of various sorts. It also may be used to treat many types of mites as well as to prevent heartworm infestation.

If your dog suffers from painful joints, then Phycox Joint Support Formula might be the right medication for him. This formulation helps to reduce the inflammation and discomfort that makes your dog feel less than his athletic best. He'll be able to handle normal daily activities after only a couple of these soft chews. Phycox Joint Support Formula contains glucosamine, the same ingredient that you might take for arthritis. But it is formulated especially for dogs.

Use Cosequin Sprinkle Capsules for your cat that suffers from stiff or painful joints. This formula combines glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and manganese ascorbate to help maintain your pet's joint health. And it even helps to repair damaged joint cartilage, treat cancer pain or urinary tract disease, making it a truly useful medication. To use, simply open a capsule and sprinkle the flavored contents onto your cat's moist food. Within four to six weeks of treatment, you should notice that your cat feels better and moves more easily. While he may have to take Cosequin for life, over time you may be able to decrease the number of capsules your pet needs to take.

For cats that suffer from feline asthma or bronchitis, you will find the AeorKat Feline Aerosol Chamber of use. This product comes with two masks of different sizes, so you're sure to be able 0to treat your pet. Use it with a Metered Dose Inhaler such as fluticasone or albuterol, allowing your pet to breathe through the mask for about seven to ten seconds. One person can handle the treatment alone, so there is no need for assistance. With rapid action, your cat should quickly start enjoying relief from his breathing difficulties.

The AeroDawg Canine Aerosol Chamber works in the same way. The pet owner can handle application of treatment alone, giving quick relief to a dog that suffers from chronic bronchitis. The drugs involved begin to work to full effect within seven to ten days. With each treatment, the dog should breathe through the mask and AeroDawg for seven to ten seconds. It might take a few treatments for the dog to become accustomed to the mask, but with patience, this medical treatment will give your pet great relief from the symptoms of bronchitis.

Pain relievers for your pets come in a variety of formulations. One fine product is Previcox. These chewable tablets can be administered to your dog to ease the pain and inflammation that comes from osteoarthritis or from post-operative pain. Novox Caplets are another good pain reliever for your dog. This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication can be given to your pet with or without food.

If your dog or cat suffers from glaucoma of the eyes, you want to give them relief as quickly as possible. Methazolamider Tablets can help lower intraocular pressure. Your pet should feel better after only a couple of treatments with this medication.

There are many other fine medications for your furry friends available on the internet. Some require prescriptions from your veterinarian while others are available without. Check into the ones that might be suitable for your pet's discomfort or disease, and start delivering real relief quickly.

Pheasant with Portabella Mushrooms in Thai Peanut Sauce

2Ringneck pheasants
1Large bottle (about 8 oz) of Thai peanut sauce, the brand is up to you (I use San-J, which I find at a health food
market). You may want to try making this from scratch, in which case you’re on your own.
5whole portabella caps
5cloves garlic
1cup olive oil
3shots Laphroaig single malt scotch, preferably 15 year old but 10 year will work. Heavily smoky scotches like this one really make the taste special. Other smoky single malts that work well, if you can’t find that one, are Lagavulin, Port Ellen, Caol Ila, and Ardbeg.

Quarter the birds, then fillet the breasts into 2 pieces each. Legs can remain whole. To tenderize, boil the legs in water for 20 minutes but not the breasts. Place oil in large skillet on low heat, then mince the garlic and very lightly brown in the oil. Slice the mushrooms straight across into 1/2 inch wide pieces, then place into pan. You will be tempted to add more oil when the mushrooms soak it up as they cook, but don’t; they will release the oil again when they cook a bit, about 10 minutes. While this is happening, take the legs out of the boiling water and place the legs and breasts into a bowl, pouring the Thai peanut sauce over them and mixing so that the pieces are covered in the sauce. Put each piece into the skillet on top of the mushrooms, making sure to lay them next to and not on top of each other. Pour excess peanut sauce over the top of this. Finally, pour 2 shots of the scotch into the pan, being careful not to ignite the alcohol as you do this. Drink the remaining shot. In fact, make it a double.

Cover, cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove cover, and cook another 10-15 minutes, or until the peanut sauce/oil mixture starts to thicken. Turn the bird pieces frequently during this last part so they don’t burn. When serving, make sure to spoon the peanut sauce and some mushrooms on top of the birds.

This is a dinner that truly pays homage to such a wonderful game bird.
