When my dog gets really stiff I give her some Children's Motrin. Works a

The liver is apparently a big concern with NSAIDs too, at least in dogs. In
humans I gather they are more dangerous to the kidneys. But the choices as
presented are: surgery, $2000-$8000, might kill her, vet may or may not
agree to even attempt it because of her age; NSAIDs, $200+ a month, likely
NSAIDs aren't good for anyone. They eat the lining out of the
stomach. I am convinced they are only marketed to increase the demand
for Prilosec and Nexium.
Be careful with Tylenol dosing as it can kill the the liver.

Has anyone here researched this topic? I have a dog who is getting old now
that just got a prescription for Rimadyl, which costs over $200 a month and
beyond the cost seems to have some really serious risks and side effects.
