Panda is on septrin and fibreplex twice a day, a high dose vit c once a day and a steroid every other day. Because I work 8 till 4 fitting all the medication in can be a bit of a problem. Now I know the septrin and the fibreplex cant be given together is there any other of her medication that cant be given together. ? Should of asked the vet when I saw him on Friday mallethead. Thanks x
 
You can give any/all of those meds at the same time - and given your hours I would suggest 7am and 6pm....with 6pm being the one where all the once daily/once every other day meds are given

I suggest however that any piggie owner giving multiple meds should give at least 1ml of CC in between each medication to cushion the stomach - especially since you are giving steroids.

You might also find that giving a small amount of zantac 2mg/kg twice daily will help alleviate nausea, gastritis and in-appetance from the other meds........ zantac should be given first - at least 30mins before anything else - otherwise the rest will all be pushed through too quickly and the dosages won;t be effective
