Do you also think nsaids should be given with a snack or mid meal? See below it can perforate a bowel so why would you give with a snack and not mid meal? Why would you not protect the intestines as best you can when giving this drug knowing it can cause ulcers, internal bleeding, and perforation - why would you tell someone a snack or on empty stomach is ok and not mid meal as Kellie has stated it is ok on empty stomach or with a snack which i strongly disagree with? |
First off, i don't go around telling everyone its ok for them to give their liver compromised dog NSAIDs. In that one case i said to listen to the vet, and its not unheard of that a vet gave NSAIDs after surgery. i don't know why you keep bringing this up. its ridiculous. get over it.
Secondly, I said that you do not have to give the pill mid meal like you described (feed half, give pill, fed other half). It is suggested to give the meds with food but not required as it can cause upset stomach in some dogs (just like it can with people). I said its ok to give the pill with a meal or snack, meaning as long as your giving it with food its ok (before, during, after, doesn't matter). And (i can't believe i have to clearly state this for you) a snack is not like one treat and the pill, or a dab of cream cheese and the pill. a snack is a portion of food that is smaller then a full meal. It is a light meal or food eaten between meals...
