How to give dog kidney meds: Cerenia & phosphate binder together?

Question

As far as I can tell, there are no problems giving aluminium hydroxide phosphate binder and cerenia (Maropitant) together for a dog with kidney disease. Some suggest they should be separated by between 1 and 4 hours to avoid absorption problems, but nothing I can find online in the drug interaction databases actually suggests that is necessary. Is there a definitive answer to this query? Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | 5 years old

The phosphate binder needs to be given with every meal as this is where dogs get their source of phosphorus. The cerenia helps with appetite so I would recommend giving it at least an hour prior to feeding this way it can have the greatest effect. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions let us know!
