Rimadyl is certainly not one of my favorite meds to use. There are others that I feel can do the trick...so why risk it? That being said, they are given by a lot of vets without any ill effects in dogs.
I would never give steroids over NSAIDS!!!
The side effects of NSAIDS are usually due to not being given correctly and from long term use.
Steroids have issues no matter how you give them! And, those issues are not something that food can prevent.
Just my thoughts..... |
