Test Treatment
Within 24 hours of admission, enrolled dogs were randomized to receive either CL using a loading dose of 10 mg/kg PO on day 1, followed by a maintenance dose 2–3 mg/kg q24h for 89 days, or ULDA at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg PO q24h for 90 days, or both (CL-ULDA) with the above drug protocols and starting at the same time on day 1. During the 3-month study period, any sign possibly attributed to an adverse drug reaction was recorded, including any evidence of hemorrhage, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, pruritus, cutaneous rash, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and increased hepatic enzymes.
