Hi Mark,
We, too, had a positive experience with lameness using Rimadyl for my
elderly arthritic Samoyed; however, she did die from a type of spontaneous
anemia which may or may not have been related to this drug. This was prior
to owning my first Berner. Now I am hooked on this breed & having los
Has anyone used Rimadyl successfully on a dog that doesn't tolerate it well?
I tried Rimadyl a couple of years ago to help my old girl with bad knees. It
was very effective but bloodwork after the first 2 weeks or the standard
daily dosage showed increased liver enzymes. I never tried backing

Something things that are important to remember;

We had been given Rimadyl for our Baloo after his neutering surgery - for
pain. He had a terrible reaction to it - he was restless, panting,
couldn't/wouldn't stay still anywhere... always wandering around like he was
lost.
We couldn't stand it! We took him off it after a few days, and he was fine
I used Etogesic for a long time on a berner with doggie MS. It was so much better for
her than the Rimadyl. I had no side effects and it worked well. I liked the once a day
