After Rimadyl became popular, one of my technician's dogs died 2 weeks after using it. In the emergency service, we had dogs coming in with kidney failure, liver failure, gastric ulcers, etc. after using Rimadyl. Alarm bells!⁠
⁠
Labrador Retrievers are specifically mentioned as sensitive to Rimadyl/Carprofen.⁠
Galliprant is supposed to have the least amount of side effects, but it is labeled for use in arthritis only.⁠
Metacam can only be given by injection once for cats. Oral Metacam is specifically labeled as NOT for use in cats.* It can cause renal failure.⁠ Metacam has been labeled for cats outside the US, but still has a narrow safety margin in cats and signs of overdose may be seen at small overdose levels.
Onsior is only labeled for postop pain for orthopedic surgery or spay/neuter.⁠
The Previcox insert has a list of adverse reactions too long to even put in this caption.⁠
⁠
Potential Adverse Reactions for ALL NSAIDs ⁠
- Kidney Failure⁠
- Liver Failure⁠
- Seizures⁠
- Gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. If your animal is on an NSAID, make sure you check their stool! Dark, tarry stools, diarrhea, anorexia, and other GI symptoms can be signs of a serious issue.⁠
⁠
✳️ I ALWAYS do lab work before starting an NSAID to make sure liver and kidney function are fine. Then, I do lab work every 3 months while the pet is on the medication. ⁠
✳️ Always ASK for the drug inserts from your veterinarian!⁠
✳️ I absolutely minimize the use of NSAIDs with my pets by using alternative therapies and safer OTC options where possible.⁠
⁠
❌ Do NOT mix NSAIDs with steroids. ⁠
❌ NSAIDs should NOT be given with any other NSAID!! This can kill your pet. You have to have a minimum 7 day wash out period (wait 7 days) before switching.⁠
❌ Do NOT give antacids (like Famotidine) with NSAIDs (there is a potential reaction where the tissue of the stomach swells)⁠
