Rimadyl is a anti-inflammatory. I guess you could compare it with Advil. Your right about not giving it on an empty stomach. If she is not acting like she is in a lot of pain you probably could just not give it to her. Some vets give it and some don't.
It's most important to get her drinking. Try some bottled water. I pour bottled water out of a drinking spout on a water bottle into a clean bowl and Gracie loves it. She likes to drink right out of the bottle. Maybe mix her kibble with the chicken to get her back on her regular diet.
She should be back to normal real soon. Hope she is feeling better today. |
