Zyloprim was prescribed for my dog a Chow Chow sick with Leishmaniasis. Within five days of starting her on the drug it nearly killed her. I started her on it on Tuesday, April 15. Within about two days,she quit eating, began drinking huge amounts of water and became progressively weaker. I had bad feelings about what was happening and I quit giving her the Zylopim on either Friday evening or Saturday morning. On Saturday evening she was so weak she could barely walk out of the kennel or stand. She got progressively weaker Sunday. By Sunday evening, I did not think she would survive until morning. She became so weak that she could not stand or sit or even lift her head. I had to give her water by holding her head up and using a syringe. On MOnday morning I was very surprised that she was still alive and now could hold her head up but had no eneregy and could barely stand up. It took a full week (until Sunday April 27)from Sunday for her to get back to where she was before she started receving the drug. She also developed a huge open leison on one elbow and I noted she developed open sores and a discharge from several of her nipples. Literature on Leishmaniasis said to give 20 mg /kg a day. She weighed about 41 lbs (use to weigh about 60 lbs before the Leismaniasis made her sick). I will have to check the bottle. She may have been overdosed

All you are Hypochondriacs. If one person says this medicine is causing this, then of course; you all have the same problem "some how." Isn't this weird? It is called the "placebo effect." Normally all the people involved in the testing are given "Lisinopril" (or some other drug), then the placebo group is given a vitamin supplement, the group receving the vitamin supplement is being told they are receving "Lisinopril." Mysteriously?, the "placebo group" is all feeling better and their symptoms are gone. This is due to the fact that all these people in the "placebo group" have interacted with eachother and have told eachother "I feel better" than of course everybody feels better. So WEIRD!! So, my point is this forum is all your peoples "placebo group." If you guys never heard of these side effects from this forum you would have never experinced them. Hypochondriacs all of you are. This is a very good medicine that is helping all of you make up for your peoples lack of self-disipline to control your diet or exercise enough to lower your blood pressure naturally. So be thankful. Lets not complain about false side effects because John has them. I wonder what the side-effects of that cheese burger are that caused high blood pressure. It is funny, I don't see a forum for that. So deal with your so called "side-effects" that are associsted with "Lisinopril" or go on a diet people. Get over it!!
