Today I attended medivet Pontefract for the first time with my nine year old spaniel after a bad experience with a neighbouring practice. Our vet was Dr cardos, he was brilliant, honest and very knowledgeable he had Rosieโ€™s wellbeing at the forefront of the appointment. Iโ€™m really glad we chose Medivet! Thanks! :)

Inquiry Regarding the Prescription of Pardale V for Charlie As you donโ€™t seem to like to call customers back after but they will take their money I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification regarding the recent prescription of Pardale V for my dog, Charlie. Charlie has been experiencing digestive distress, and upon reviewing the medication, I noticed that Pardale V contains both paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine phosphate. While I understand that paracetamol is commonly used to manage pain and reduce fever in dogs, I am concerned about the inclusion of codeine phosphate, given Charlie's ongoing digestive issues. As you are aware, codeine is an opioid, and I am worried about its potential impact on Charlie's already sensitive digestive system. Could you please provide more insight into why Pardale V, specifically containing codeine phosphate, was chosen for Charlie's treatment despite his digestive distress? I am eager to understand how this medication aligns with his current condition and overall treatment plan. Additionally, if there are any alternative medications or adjustments that could be considered to better address his needs while minimizing the risk of exacerbating his digestive issues, I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and further guidance on ensuring the best care for Charlie.
