this seems like some good info - omg I am so upset in reading this though as the rimadyl info said it can cause problems 2 weeks after taking it and the owner of the little dog that died two weeks after taking it came to mind that we all thought might have been a spider bite
maybe it was not a bug bite after all

Carprofen (i.e., Rimadyl) causes hepatotoxicity in dogs, especially Labrador retrievers.
The histologic changes seen in carprofen hepatotoxicity can resemble chronic hepatitis, so be sure that
you have an adequate history. Also, be aware that hepatotoxicity may not be seen until 1-2 weeks after
starting a drug; in fact, the patient may have stopped taking the medication several days before clinical
signs of toxicity occur.
