Yes ..... thank you for the response. They warned me that one of the side affects is sedation but that her body would get used to it. I have yet to give her that first dose -- very scared. Mostly because they also warned me that once I start I should continue the twice a day dose and that she would need to be weaned off -- that I couldn't stop meds abruptly. I don't like that! With Rimadyl it was "as needed". I don't remember giving her anything "daily" when she had her 1st injury ..... she healed on her own. I may just give it more time and observe. If she is not showing any real "pain" I may just let nature take it's course and continue the Rimadyl on and off. So hard to make decisions for them
