Side effects of Rimadyl
So my dog ripped the crap out of her paw this year. Didn't witness it, no idea how she did it. I just came back from the grocery store, and she refused to put any weight on it. Then it swelled up, so I took her in to the Vet. They X-rayed the foot and determined she hadn't broken it. Prescribed Rimadyl. You know that ad where elderly yellow labs are playing?
Not exactly! After two pills Bailey was pooping straight blood. I took her back in because I knew what was going on. Her liver panels were off as well. I will never give a dog Rimadyl again!
It was intended for human arthritis and denied by the FDA. So they marketed it as dog drugs for arthritis and Dysplasia.
Luckily Bailey is fine, but use caution when using this drug, and report it to the FDA.
