2010年3月8日 · I have seen more and more that folks are requesting Amicar post-surgery for their greys, and have heard Dr. Couto speak of it. I am seeing a new vet this week and am going to discuss removing a lump on Sonie's shoulder. I would guess it's 3/4 to 1 inch, elevated. She's had it for quite a while, a...

2017年2月19日 · Amicar's smallest pill is 650mg. For a 9.5 lb dog, what would the dose be and how small could a pill be cut down? 1/4 pill = 162.5mg, 1/8 = 81.25 (I'd need to have the vet or my pharmacist cut it accurately that small) One vial of Amicar is …

2015年8月30日 · The information here in post#1 is for those trying to find Amicar. Dr Couto has recommended Amicar (Aminocaproic acid) to prevent and control excessive bleeding in greyhounds post surgically and especially for amputations. Generally, the dose is 1000mg every 8 hours for 5 days. Editing to add: pe...

2023年7月31日 · With Sweep, she got Amicar for her fracture repair but wasn't sent home with any, and her bruising and swelling were much worse than with her later amp, where she got it for 4 days post-surgery. I checked with my local Kroger pharmacy today and they can have Amicar next day so I've emailed the surgeon to ask about it.

2012年11月15日 · Someone asked Dr. Couto this on a vet forum, and his response was that he started using Amicar because that's what he was familiar with, and that there isn't much data on tranexamic acid use in dogs. I imagine if Amicar becomes unavailable, we'll have to switch, but for now, I think most vets prefer to stick with what we've had experience with.

2019年10月13日 · Val is going to have a dental in a few weeks and my vet asked if I wanted to use Amicar since we know she is going to have extractions. I have never used it for dentals, although I did use it for Molly's spleen surgery. Not that it did her much good So, what does GT think? I am pretty sure when Conner had his last dental at a specialty dentist ...

2014年2月25日 · I need 18 500mg Amicar tablets. The pharmacy where I got the Amicar before for Pinky's amputation is giving me a price of $105something. I do not remember Pinky's being NEARLY that expensive. I called Walgreen's and (surprise) they were even more than that. I have used Five Star Compounding Pharm...

2012年5月1日 · Shannon had zero post operative bleeding and ZERO bruising. Amicar works by strengthing the clot-- something also to remember these guys will have normal clotting factors. Amicar is inexpensive- and there really isn't a valid reason not to use it. 500mgs by mouth 3 times a day for 5 days is Dr Coutos standard protocol. Edited May 1, 2012 by ...

2013年8月16日 · Some of you may recall that Sagan's dental was rescheduled due to his platelets being low. Well, it's 1.5 months later and we're going ahead with the dental finally, so I ordered Amicar from Walgreens. But now I'm worried about dosage. I know that it's supposed to be given 3x a day for 5 days fol...

2016年2月29日 · I now know how important amicar is since Pogo's lost his leg to osteo. Because he ended up at the vet school for so long, he ended up receiving the majority of his amicar while under their care. We still have amicar left at home because of this. Odds are Miriam will be having surgery because she ...
