 If your doggie has to take an anti-inflamatory meds!!
Taffy had a major leg surgery for two broken right leg bones around age two, and we got his take-home meds in two bags in premeasured syringes, one for pain and one was an anti-inflamatory. I was told to check all his poops for any tiny red flecks in his stools. Sure enough by day 4, I saw 3-4 little red spots in his poops, and called the vet. I was told to stop his anti-inflamatory med. Just like with humans, anti-inflamatory meds can cause stomach irritation and bleeding! So, he continued with his chicken flavored pain med, but no more anti-inflamatory med. If your pup ever has to take an anti-inflamatory, please look.at the poops for tiny blood specks! Let your vet know if you see anything unusual if pup takes meds!! |
