I ran this by my vet when it was first on the list and learned from her albon also has anti-inflammatory properties, which would explain why it works. The only difference is she said IF I used it, 10 days. I wasn't sure of the dosage but have since learned what is on the bottle is what to use. I haven't used it...had an ouchy youngster for a for days, thought pano, but then didn't need it. BTW, anyone lese notice bitch puppies who have never shown any signs of pano can get it before their first few seasons? Odd huh???
