Previcox is not recommended for dogs under 12.5lbs so it really shouldn't have been prescribed to Tatum to begin with. Also, diarrhea is a side effect of Previcox so most likely the diarrhea she had today is because of the medication.

Are you planning to have Tatum's surgery done at Texas A&M?
When Bella was prescribed Previcox, I was never given an Information sheet. Her prescription was 1/4 tablet once daily as needed for pain. Thank goodness, I only gave it to her twice. It seems that alot of Vets think because they are giving a lower dosage, it's ok to give Previcox to our babies.
