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 & ha

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 ba

Happy New Year. There does seem to be quite a difference in opinion regarding the use of this drug. I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs. I hate the use of most medications. However following surgery each of my dogs were on rimadyl for a short period of time - no longer than 6 days and I noticed

have dogs that lived much longer pain free because of rimadyl. How many dogs has it helped versus how many have had bad side effects? I haven't seen any sort of data that would give us a clue other than what the drug manufacturer reports, which is 1 to 3 cases with bad side effects per 10,000 dog

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 d

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 dosing. I liked it and had good success with it. Candy

relief for your Bodhi. Since his liver enzyme levels are indeed elevated, the Rimadyl may increase those values over time...yet it may be the best relief for your friend. Typically you will see positive results rather quickly with the use of anti-inflammatories. I would not be surprised if you no

Hello, It definitely sounds like to you need to look for pain management for Bodhi - but you might want to consider Metacam instead of Rimadyl. It comes in a liquid form and you can adjust the dosage very easily up or down and it does not seem to have as many side effects as Rimadyl can have

Hi Richard, Were this my dog... I'd try the Rimadyl (but I'd also try hard to fight the side affects). It sounds like you've done the research, you've informed yourself of the possible side effects, you'll monitor Bodhi closely (both by observation and bloodwork).
