The system incorporates all
the same Vetland Medical features of the company’s LANDMARK series of anaesthesia machines, but incorporates leading-edge technology for a safer, more powerful system.

Benazepril inhibits the production of angiotensin II, and spironolac- tone blocks the harmful effects of aldosterone. Cardalis® therefore uniquely provides “dual blockade” of the RAAS System, and this is proven to improve the quality and duration of life for dogs with heart failure caused by mitral valve dis- ease.

Fraser Broadfoot MRCVS explains further to VSM: “In clinical studies, dogs receiving benazepril and spironolactone (compared with benazepril alone) were shown to have a better quality of life and — at any one time — were three times less

Liver fluke infections in ewes can reduce multiple births by up to 10%, and lamb birth weights can be reduced by more than 5%. In infected lambs, weight gain can be reduced by up to 30% leading to much increased finishing times. Closiver Injection for Sheep contains a unique combination of
ivermectin and closantel. The
addition of closantel, a flukicide that is highly effective against adult and late immature fluke, is also effective against triclabendazole resistant fluke, an issue which is becoming more prevalent throughout the country. Treating with Closiver Injection for Sheep can conveniently be done when coupled with other vital procedures prelambing such as
vaccination or crutching. Closiver Injection for Sheep
is administered subcutaneously in the neck at a dose rate of 1ml/25kg. Post marketing experience has demonstrated that the dorsal neck area on sheep is an accessible region and maybe a suitable area for vets to inject Closiver Injection for Sheep subcutaneously.

“The diuretic effect of spironolactone is very mild — the dose of furosemide that you need to control oedema will therefore usually remain the same. The main reason for using Cardalis® is to counteract the harmful effects of angiotensin II and aldosterone, which include vasoconstriction and cardiovascular remodelling/ fibrosis”.
