I've heard soooo many bad things about Rimadyl, but I'm wondering if the bad things were just with dogs using them long term?? Is it ok for her to take this for a couple of days are so post-surgically?
What the heck is Bupernex? (She said it was a narcotic...) And is it safe??? |
PLEASE research Rimadyl and the other 'NSAIDs' [non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs] THOROUGHLY
BEFORE allowing them to be used. My website contains the FDA side-effects reported for a number of them including Rimadyl.
