Our former vet offered us rimadyl to help with our Beloved golden Pashas’ CCL injury in 2013. Since we had researched the considerable dangers of this medication plus, previcox, metacam, carprofen and other NSAIDS like, we rejected it. This former vet never told us anything about how harmful, even fatal, this drug can be for Dogs.
Unfortunately, the people in the story below, lost their precious Golden, Sophie, in 2009. Their vet did not mention the severe dangers of these for Dog parents. Their story, in part, is what helped saved Pasha from the significant risks of NSAID type anti – inflammatories.

An enzyme system transforms arachidonic acid into prostaglandins when tissue injury occurs. There are two forms of cyclooxygenase that perform this conversion: cox 1 and cox 2. NSAIDs can block cox 1, cox 2, or all of them.
Aspirin and other should be avoided unless absolutely required because they usually result in gastritis or peptic ulcers.
Ibuprofen and others intended for human use are not suitable for use in dogs or cats. These medications cause deadly, severe intestinal and stomach ulcers.
