Dog is Acting Strange Since Taking Rimadyl

RE: Dog is Acting Strange Since Taking Rimadyl By louel53 (624) Contact I am a cat person, and have little experience with dogs, but if she was a person, I'd say she wasn't feeling well, or was depressed. This sounds like a side effect of this medication. Are there alternatives?

I found that I can buy 100 tablets for $9.99 at Trader Joe's. They have been and still are working as well as what I bought from the Vet.

She also became a bit antisocial, however, we did have her for an extra year before we had to put her to sleep. I am grateful for that!

Best of luck. You're a good parent. (smile) Posted on 02/04/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog is Acting Strange Since Taking Rimadyl By jdrinkwater (16) Profile Contact My vet took my dog off it. If you look it up, there are deaths associated with this drug as well as other symptoms. Pfizer, the maker, didn't want to say that death could be caused so FDA pulled their ads. It does say it on the box now, but from what my vet said, it's a dangerous drug.

That will allow you to read about the drug, usages & side effects, including warnings. You will also see other users' comments about their pet's experiences on it.

She's already on glucosamine/chondroitin. Luckily she does seem to have picked up a little in the last 2 days but I was hoping for a bit more. Not sure if we'll continue the Rimadyl yet. Amazingly, she still wants to jog whenever we can but I have to be very careful on the terrain because she has one bad hip and if she loses her footing at all; she goes down pretty hard. We may still do a surgical procedure to denervate the hip joint capsule which is supposed to have very good results with almost no recovery time. Otherwise she's in amazing shape for her age!

He definitely was not himself when taking Rimadyl, so we took him off it and started him on Glucosamine and Condroiton for his mild arthritis. Not sure if this is an option with your dog, but I would talk to the vet to find out.
