Hi there! It's always concerning when our furry friends aren't eating well, but it's great you're looking into ways to help your senior pup. Entyce (capromorelin oral solution) is commonly used to stimulate appetite in dogs who are struggling to eat, especially in seniors. It's designed to trigger hunger signals in the brain, encouraging them to chow down a bit more.
Many pet parents find it helpful, and most dogs tolerate it well. That said, like any medication, there can be side effects. Keep an eye out for:
Most times, these are mild and resolve on their own. However, if you notice severe diarrhea, continuous vomiting, or if your pup becomes extremely lethargic, it's time to call the vet. These can be signs of intolerance or an adverse reaction. In these cases, stop giving Entyce until you've spoken to your veterinarian.
If the side effects are mild, you can try reducing the dose slightly and see if that helps, or mixing it in with a bit of your dog's favorite food to make it more palatable.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
