Timeless Vet Drug Index "Pearl of the week" - Ah, summer time. Lazy days, lots of playing fetch and swimming with our canine friends and occasionally they ingest something nasty outside! When vomiting occurs and antiemetics are indicated, consider the use of the drug maropitant. It is a broader spectrum antiemetic than other alternatives, since it acts in the final common pathway (emetic center) as opposed to others which act in chemoreceptor trigger zone, vestibular apparatus, etc. Also, did you know that refrigeration reduces discomfort on injection? Just another pearl brought to you by the Vet Drug Index. Sign up today for your 14-Day Free Trial at VetDrugIndex
