As a Licensed Veterinary Technician, Thank you for speaking about adverse effects & over use of medicines. Some things in the "shall not cause any harm" world are criminal.
Thanks Gina
The vet in calgary alberta that killed my beautiful female american bulldog broke that oath when he injected pentobarbitol into her vein and killed a living breathing creature(my best friend) i will promise not administer a lethal substance to my patient. He looked at her quickly determined she was full of cancer without biopsies or blood tests.told my girlfriend she was in pain wouldnt make it..my god he killed her then cremated her no necropsy without a body.i will miss her till my death.. this killing has to end we can make massive reserves for wildlife but they say too many dogs?? Why? Im devestated over loosing her.lets stop killing and start saving docs..dr jones is a real vet a real hero godbless you dr jones. God will execute judgement on the dr deaths
@@VeterinarySecrets My vet just prescribed my Frenchie 25mg of carprofen and 100mg of gabapentin.. I'm supposed to give him one tablet each every 12 hours for 10 days due to pain in his leg or knee joint specifically. Jumping off beds or something is what did it. What do you think about this???
Yes, Rimadyl was instrumental in killing my Cane Corso. My poor boy had to be euthanized. No dog of mine will ever again ingest that toxic medication. Pet parents, do your homework. Just because veterinarians recommend a medication for your beloved pet, does not necessarily mean its safe.
Thank you so much for discussing this subject! I just commented on your video of losing Jessie, I just lost my mini aussie. He had neurological damage, hip dysplasia, flat knees, kidney issues, could only walk in circles etc, etc. but he was so full of love I wouldn't give up. our vet had him on rimadyl. now I can't help but wondering if it contributed to his stroke. keep up the great work
Hi Barb,
Thanks- sorry to hear about your dog
Total respect FOR YOU as a person and AN AWESOME VET!!! THANK YOU, BLESS YOU!!!
Thank you so much for this video. My vet just gave me 60 for my dog, for his torn ACL. He had given me 30 back in January, because of his hip dysplasia and even after I told him at the vet visit two days ago, I wasn’t comfortable with Rimadyl, he thought it was the best option for my dog. I’ve been exploring other options besides surgery for his ACL and pain meds. So thank you again. I will not be giving these to him.
Thank you for sharing this info!
How it is even legal for vets to prescribe this type of poison?
thank you for your advice.
Love Dr. JONES!
My dog died within 24 hours of taking a single 100mg pill for arthritis. He vomited repeatedly and post function of his arms and legs and couldn’t stand. He eventually had a stroke at the vet
I'm not sure when you posted this Doc, but a vet administered Rimadyl
and Furosemide on 12/24/15 for arthritis and excess water retention to
my senior 15 year old Stafforshire. He warned me there was a
possibility of congestive heart failure. She crossed over on 12/25/15 @
05:30. So no more Rimadyl for my guys. Thanks for the update.
+FUGYOO Sorry to hear of that
Veterinary Secrets
Damn Doc. I wasn't really expecting a retort, but thank you for your condolences. We made our peace before hand. Of course Christmas eve, no one is open, it was raining, and she insisted on staying outside. So I planted a large umbrella over her until she was ready to come in. She had a great life here. I rescued her as a pup from certain euthanasia. 15 years of baked fish, pork, chicken, mixed veggies, oatmeal, supplements and one half cup of lamb & rice ACANA. She crossed over on a full belly of good stuff, lol. Bless you Doc.
@@FUGYOO Bless YOU for taking such great care of your fur-baby!
I know this is an older video but I'm on here trying to research because my cat has a vet appointment tomorrow, I also have dogs. This is so valuable, thank you so much!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing. However, I have a major success story with Rimadyl. My dog was 14 when his arthritis got so bad he could hardly walk. The topic of putting him down was circulating. Our vet told us about Rimadyl and was very transparent about its dangers. However, we didn’t have much to lose at this point. Suddenly our dog became a puppy running and playing again. He had veterinary check ups frequently and had no noticeable adverse reactions to the drug. He lived to by 17. It was totally worth it for us to take the gamble since the alternative was euthanasia. I’m so happy we were able to get a few more years with our beloved dog thanks to Rimadyl. I don’t recommend for younger dogs. Consult with your vet and use at your own discretion.
It's so frustrating that they deny the mortality percentage. It's just like Purina denying that their food Beneful has killed thousands of dogs.
Hi Dr. Jones. I was signed up for your webinar yesterday but never got an email with the link to listen in :( I know you mentioned that the recorded webinar would be available for those who couldn't make it. Where do I find that?
Hi Deborah. The link to the webinar replay is here: veterinarysecrets.com/webinar_00019_030116/
So what are we supposed to give our dogs for osteoarthritis?? Are there contraidications for some dogs who have pre-existing conditions?
Hi, I know this video is 4 years old. I have a 12 yr old pit bull, ( 75 bls ) she had ONE 75 MG PILL. she ended up having severe diarrhea with blood in her stool. Is it normal for 1 pill to cause this? Today will be 48 hrs from that one pill and she still has diarrhea with bloody stool. The vet gave her one day worth of ulcer. But that's it. What is your input on this please. Thank you Ritchie
Why didn't you post a link or sources with your video?
Well said, Dr. Jones.
When your own dog is one of the statics, the numbers mean nothing. The only thing that matters is a dog died that should not have had to. This goes for any thing given or injected into your dogs and cats. I had a GSD that reacted to vaccines and went on chemo at 1 yr of age for 3 years to save her life. She was euthanized at 6 years of age because the chemo destroyed her spine. Don't tell me vaccines protect more than they harm. She came to teach me to stop the madness of what we feed, inject, and give to our dogs and cats to protect from disease, fleas and heartworm. It is all a toxic mess and I stopped the madness with that GSD......AND I have never had such healthy dogs as I do now.
I have an appointment with my vet this week. My dog has hip dysplasia and now after learning about what you conveyed regarding Rimadyl, I am afraid for him to get it if it's prescribed for him. I have been giving him Curamin which has Boswellia and Curamin with BCM-95 curcumin and BosPure boswellia with DLPA and nattokinase. I didn't think it was working, because he has not been eating. According to what I read by Terry Naturally website, this is an excellent combination. I am unsure on what to do. I don't want him in pain. Oh and I do have him on Cosamin DS as well.
Hi,
He may then need an NSAID- just use another one such a Meloxicam
My pitbull was given Rymadil after being injured by a car. Six weeks later he was euthanized for toxicity. I had no idea Rymadil caused this. When he got sick and stopped eating I tried everything. He dropped half his body weight. I finally found a vet in my area who wasn't afraid of him and it was too late. The vet said he'd been given or gotten ahold of something toxic. I couldn't figure out what it could be!
Sorry to hear of this
O.m.g. so. Sorry ❣️❣️❣️❣️
do you think prescription meloxocam or Asprin is better for a long term NSAID? My dog has been taking Rimadyl for two weeks now, and after seeing this I'm scared!
I forgot to mention that it also says Aspirin or all over the counter NSAIDS are bad for dogs online (Source PetMD), which I'm sure you know. But if you think Aspirin is safer than a prescription, kindly confirm and answer the following. Thanks.
1)Is the Aspirin for Canines sold at pet stores the same as buying for human consumption? I'm sure its less expensive that way.
2) I saw below you stated 325mg per 40lbs, my dog weighs 60lbs so she should be given 1 1/2 correct?
Hi- I think long term low dose Meloxicam, but add in Colostrum
Thank you for the information. I would be suspicious that your 'haters' were from the drug company that produces Rimadyl as they tend to do stuff like that when an article points out side effects or problems with a drug. I am an owner of a dog who, under vet care and monitoring, was given the drug and within a few days had massive negative side effects. He was almost one of the statistics that had to be euthanized due to the side effects. We were luck in that his treatment turned him around just before that happened but I have since refused to consider NSAID's for my other dogs. No one should ever give a pet any medication until they know what to look for in the way of side effects and know the risks. Sometimes the risks really out weigh the benefits when their are other avenues to try.
Hi Pam,
Thanks for sharing your story and cautioning other dog owners
Thanks so much for this information. I'd rather know all about the drugs and side effects than be surprised many years later.
Can you do a video on what you think is the best way to feed your dogs, meaning dry/wet dog food vs homemade, and any recipes you might have for the later? Thanks so much, and God bless you.
Great suggestion Tina
My beautiful young show dog died after 9 days of this drug and now I know many more deaths, but they do not get reported.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
My dog has a back injury with a bit of neuro deficit, she was placed in predsnisolone and muscle relaxant.after, 14 days she was meds free but after 2 weeks i noticed she seemed imbalanced again when walking so the vet said to give her rimadyl for 5 days. Shes on the 4th day today but now im afraid to give this to her tonight and tomorrow. Ant suggestions on what to give her instead?
Hi,
You can talk to your vet about another NSAID, such as Metacam- you can ask if they would consider Gabapentin which seems to help with chronic pain/ neurologic deficits. Ideally you would get a diagnosis.
+Veterinary Secrets Metacam is good then to use?
I am of the opinion Carprofen killed my dog. I was not made aware of side effects, Also I was not informed that he would need blood work every 6 mos to monitor it's effect on his organs. He died from kidney failure (euthanasia).
What meds would you prescribe for liver toxicity from Rimadryl after she was wrongly diagnosed with arthritis. She had a torn ligament in her knee. My little dog had her dose doubled and then the problems started. She has been off Rimadryl for 3 weeks now, but not sure if Ursotan is the right meds. Vet also gave her Milk Thistle and Essentiale tabs to try help her liver. Blood test results are better than they were, but she will not eat or drink at present and I am very worried. Also not weeing. Losing weight. Walking better as knee is healing, but I am worried about her recovery. Any advice please as to meds and diet? Am desperate!!!!
Hi Melanie,
1. Milk Thistle
2. Dandelion Root Tea - 1 teaspoon/10lbs twice daily
Many thanks. Got started on Dandelion tea today and vet gave her the Milkthistle tablets. I think the green fruit and veg juice also helped because she has turned the corner now.
Is there anything that can be done for the neurological damage done by Carprofen? My dog was perfectly healthy - went in for a corneal abrasion - and thanks to only 4 doses of Carprofen he now has violent seizures. CBD oil appears to be helping prevent further seizures, but he still shakes every minute or so and if he stands still he loses balance and falls over. He also has some disorientation - he sniffs everything as if it's new to him. His blood work is normal - he does not have the liver or kidney problems some others have had, just the neurological problems.
is this med ok for call trifixis good or bad?
Hi Dolores,
Trifexis also has issues, you can read about it here
www.theinternetpetvet.com/is-trifexis-killing-dogs-fda-records-340-dog-deaths-associated-with-trifexis/
First off I want to say thank you for putting this video up.... I'm a little curious what are the total number of dogs that were prescribed this medication. Also what does it mean by the vet had to euthanize 1800 because of Rimadyl... were there side effects so bad that they were forced to euthanized or were they just taking this medication and the veterinarian found a problem and the dog needed to be euthanized.
Thanks
Is Tramadol safer than rimadyl for post-op pain?? (molar extraction and infection)
They gave our dog BOTH!
I really don’t want to use both, or either for that matter, but I don’t want her to be in pain.
Yes Tramadol is much safer
Veterinary Secrets
Thanks doc😊
I decided not to give her anything more the second day on out.
She seems to be fine and I would rather not risk it. Glad to know that tramadol is safer so at least she will have something if the need arises.
I have started her on Liposomal vitamin C and the milk thistle just came in today.
I also just bought some ozonated oils for her teeth.(pur03)
(have also been seriously considering buying the supplement you sell too!)
Thanks Doc. Helping us caring pet lovers understand the disturbing side effects and potential ramifications is appreciated. Agree with Gina that your daily work with animals qualifys you be a spokesperson and be a voice to those wee souls, helping us humans dog buddies make more informed choices. The naysayers (drug company voices) try to spin numbers to discredit your fact findings. Facts are our friends. And it's not the numbers even as bad as these are each and every unit of one (1) of the individual deaths is important as can be understood by Christine as with loss of Lg. Whether 4,157 or whatever number, each is an event that moves any caring pet companion with concern and sadness if the animal is in distress. Just as we are finding prevention through good nutrition for humans is better than drugs, your posting is a timely reminder of consideration when our four legged buddies need help. We still need vet services for those bites, bumps, and things that happen out there, so your observations are appreciated. And yes, sometimes a drug needs to be used - but with due care and need. Keep being the impartial voice for our four legged companions and educating us on alternatives. Your very much appreciated by tens of thousands. kindest regards, Emmet
Thank You :-)
They just prescribed it for Gigi teeth before surgery along with Metronyl
I didn’t start to give them to her yet
What are the best options for pain management in dogs? My dog has severe hip dysplasia and has just started on Rimadyl. I would gladly have him on something different, is tramadol better? I know it's not an NSAID, but it does help with pain. CBD oil?
M Catherine W
Hi. Did you ever decide to give your dog the Rimadyl? Mine was just prescribed this medication, and I'm agonizing over what to do.
@@courtneyblue15 I understand completely. I did give it to him for a month and a half. Next, Im planning on going with Charlottes Web(CBD Oil). I have it ordered and I am going to see how that works. He needs something long term and actually stronger (also something that doesn't require a consistent blood test). I can let you know how it goes, if you like.
M Catherine W
Thank you for your reply! And yes, please let me know how that works out for your dog. I was actually thinking of ordering some myself. Is Charlotte's Web supposed to be stronger than others or something? I've seen it mentioned a few times on here...
I give my dog CBD and it helps him a lot! I recommend it if you can find a reputable company.
My dog had a seizure after taking Carprofen. All she had was minimally invasive surgery one day earlier.
Hi my dog Chico had a negative reaction to Rimadyl within about a week of use. My dog had abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloody stools. I discontinued use immediately after one day of hospitalization in which he got fluids and probiotics. At the time, I believe the initial Rimadyl prescription was unnecessary. Really my dog was young (about 4 or 5) and not all that achy and only exhibited mild symptoms from his hip dysplasia and luxating patella. Now however he is 12 years old and he is starting to slow down significantly. I changed his food to the Six Fish formula from Orijen about a year and a half ago due to the high omega fatty acids that are already in the food. My question is, how much more antinflammatory supplement should I be administering to help my buddy's arthritis? he is eating about 1/2 cup daily of this food and he is a 5 lb chihuahua. Thank you for your awesome videos by the way, I am learning a ton! I am an aspiring vet and hope to work with wildlife, exotics, domestic animals and alternative medicine.
Thanks for sharing
My 6 year old lab has serious liver issues and isn't dead yet, but she's not doing well at all. $6,000 spent so far with much more. This was a totally healthy lab (except for her elbow dysplasia) before Rimadyl, now, she's dying.
Sorry to hear about that
Well, we have spent $10,400 and she has mostly recovered. That drug did help my mother's cairn terrier and my brother's jack russell, but man... it can kill labs/some other dogs.
Mine too. After a couple days on this drug kidneys shut down couldn't walk.
@@ttc3004 we spent $12K getting her kidney's working again. She's still alive at 13 years old.
Thanks I was fixing to give my elderly dog this prescription by my vet who wrote it and discussed it quickly about her arthritis.
I’ll pass.
I’m gonna stick with the Galliprant she is on already. What do you know about Galliprant?
Also I want to start treating her naturally and fixing to read your free book! I prefer everything natural for myself so I feel the same about my pets. Thanks for helping us and Thanks for any advice!😀
Were these dogs already sick before going on rimadyl or were they healthy and put on rimadyl, then reported to the FDA? Just asking because you can't make a correlation of rimadyl and death if they animal was already sick before being put on the medicine.
Most of the dogs only had arthritis, and no other organ changes. The NSAID is what is correlated with death.
LittleLady healthy dogs are prescribed rimadyl, it's hard on the stomach and can cause internal bleeding.
My dog had some leg pain and the vet prescribed carprofen. The next day his face was swollen like crazy and he couldn't walk. The vet thinks it could be a lymphatic blockage or an allergic reaction to the med.
It’s always risk assessment. How many dogs die under anesthesia annually? Rimadyl has worked wonders on many dogs and there are plenty of studies to back up its effectiveness. You have to get blood work done before your dog goes on it.
Good point
My Dog is a 2 year old Chow Chow and he has a problem with his Hip Joint , the doctor prescribed 100 mg of rymadil for him daily for 14 days , shall i go with the prescription or no ?? Please this is his first day of the 14 days and i need to know shall I continue with it or no
It can be OK short term, and so long as your dog does not react. Talk to your vet
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you , after i read a lot about it I decided to give him 50 mg per day instead of 100mg , without asking my veterinarian honestly, hoping it will be less harmful to his stomach .. thank you
What is the drug use for? I'm very cautious about what to give my new puppy. I want to make sure that he gets the best medicines that is safe for him. Any suggestions? Right now he is turning 4 weeks old. He's (Whiskey) is a full blooded Weiner puppy.
Hi,
It is an antiinflammatory commonly given for arthritis
My 6mo old Husky was prescribed this after she was spade, she as only had two days worth, but now learning more about Rimadyl, I am afraid to give it to her.
She hasn't shown any negative signs, she's her usually crazy self, but still.
It is not necessary to give
Veterinary Secrets I have already stopped the meds, what ever pain she may suffer while her body heals is a small price compared to her overall health.
And so far, if she is in pain she's good at hiding it. :P
My dog recently passed away. I’ve been told he had a tumor in his pancreas and it ruptured. However, a Vet prescribed Car_pro_fen to my dog and he got much worse. He lost function of his hind legs. I only gave him (3) tablets. I quickly took him off the medication. Vets pretend not to know this medication causes problems. They argue. I simply flush the medication. I don’t want to dispose of it where any living creature may consume it.
Ma'am, if you flush medications, they get into the ground water and can hurt other animals.
Thank you for your most informative videos. Instinct has prevented me from giving my dogs some prescribed medication and over vaccinating my dogs. It is inspiring to hear your advice.
Thanks Sienna
+sienna lab (Suz21) same. i have not vaccinated my soon to be 7 year old dog, since she was 1. she didn't feel good after that one (year after getting her puppy shots). Talked to my friend who worked for a holistic vet and she taught me about over vaccinating dogs and to opt for the titer test instead. So we have done that every year until she turned 6. Then I read more info on my own and even the titer is now pointless. She won't be getting any vaccines anymore or titer tests. I was under the impression it was necessary to receive the heartguard RX, but when I asked the vet, the only thing needed is the exam and the blood test. We don't even do fecal tests unless we can tell she's having something going on. So this year the vet is like, "you're not doing vaccines today?" i said, Nope. Just the blood test and exam. She said, "you need to make sure she is up to date on her vaccines." i said, yeah we usually do titer, she's been good all these years. but we won't be doing titer this year." She said, "ok she's due in april for her annual, are you gonna do it in april?" (she must not be listening to me at all...) "Nope."
Needless to say we're switching vets.
Hi and good points- I personally won't be titre testing my dog.
Dr J
Dr Jones, would you please discuss Hyaluronic Acid (HA)? It works wonders for arthritis. My dogs (and I) take it in liquid form. Simple and it works on so many levels.
HI,
Good suggestion for an additional video on lesser known arthritis remedies
Veterinary Secrets Thank you!!
my dog was put on tramadol, 50mg he's 115lbs, i wonder if i should try half a pill to be safe at first?
I would- talk to your vet first
Dr. Karen hi Karen my little dachshund has just been put on 15 mg tramadol as well she is 15 lb, a little overweight. She has a crushed spine they told me her whole spine is bad she still gets around good but was crying out of nowhere and sleeping under my bed moaning that's what made me know to take her in plus she was holding her head low so she had a pinched nerve in her neck. After x-rays they put her on tramadol 1/4 of a pill twice a day. This seems to have helped her now they have her on rimadyl 1/2 of 25 mg twice a day after watching this video I'm not quite sure what to do😕. May I ask how your furry friend is doing? And any information you might share.😁
My vet prescribed my dog rimadyl as a pain reliever for a dental surgery, gave it to her last night for the first time with the antibiotics they also prescribed and a skin treatment. My dog had a seizure like episode and was completely out of it after for the rest of the night. Did research and found multiple sources saying it can cause paralysis and seizures even though it is rare. Called the vet and she insisted that seizures are NOT a side effect of rimadyl and not to believe things I see online. I’m starting to not believe the vet, obviously it happened. She insists that I try to give her rimadyl again, Or an alternative. Not going to happen. I’d rather my dog be in slight pain from a tooth being extracted than die from kidney failure or a seizure. We’ll see how it goes.
I wish you luck.
My dog just died from Ketofen another NSAID
The vet just gave this to my Beagle for a dog bite from my other dog. She had to have 3 staples put into the skin of her neck from a gash she had. Shes been on it for 2 days now but seems to be doing fine. But I give it to her as directed by her vet and she will only be on it for a week.
What about Prevacox? I hear horrid stories about that to. I was told about T-Relief Arnica but doesn't that have side affect as well? All of these drugs are expensive and who knows what is safe. It's exhausting trying to find a medicine that is safe without the fear of God that you may be killing your pet. Interactions with other drugs should be addressed but no one seems to be willing to explain the seriousness of that.
Yes all of the NSAID's can have serious side effects
oh jesus...i just asked on another video about rimadyl vs metacam. i'm gonna watch this now.... i was hesitant to give my dog rimadyl and my vet is like blah blah its ok and cheaper than metacam. -_- i'm so glad i found your channel.
Thanks and you are welcome
got an acupuncture and laser therapy session set up for tomorrow. i've dropped my dog's rimadyl dose down to half the dose the vet said to give her. So once very 24 hours instead of twice a day. It seems to be enough that she's not uncomfortable. I'm hoping I won't have to give her one tomorrow if her treatments help. Already giving her supplements and massage so it's just time now.
Those sound like very wise choices
Dr J
she's doing great after acupuncture :) usually by day 2 off rimadyl, she doesn't want to move much. but she's moving! the night after acupuncture, she felt too good and started playing by herself, i had to lock her in a crate so she'd calm down and not reinjure herself. :( sure enough later that night she slowed down a lot and next day was slow, BUT still moving. so that was good. massages with helichryum and lavender plus diet is keeping her going. each day she does better, like today she was only stiffest/slowest in the morning. after a good massage and food she was pretty good the rest of the day!
so if anyone else happens to read this and their dog has a soft tissue injury.. there's hope without meds :)
what is the best anti inflammatory
you suggest?
Conventional one is Meloxicam
Doc what's on your lips?
Thank you for standing up for pets and their health! The cough syrup in another video was excellent for my older dog's cough. When I saw you use the Bach rescue remedy, I knew you were knowledgeable with affordable alternative treatments. I have this rescue remedy for me and the alcohol free bottle for my dog. No matter what happens, it calms everyone down. Where is your donate now button? I would like to contribute to your work.
Thanks Barbara
I can't help but to think that if I keep giving my dog rimadyl. I read about the effects of the drug and clearly he has a couple of these symptoms, urine accidents and now his urine has blood. I'm suspending the drug right away. I'm very annoyed that many now the side effects and they keep giving this medicine. Zeus needs an antiinflamatory medicine for his discal hernia so he was given rimadyl and gabapentin.
Hi,
The gabapentin is very safe- one of the few conventional drugs I would say is OK to take regularly.
+Veterinary Secrets thank you for your reply, what antiinflamatory do you think is a safer option?
In vet practice I used meloxicam if an NSAID was needed
Well said - thank you - hence, we all need Evidence Based Veterinary Medicine (EBVM) it might save lives of our pets
Our dog went to the ER late 2013 and was given a shot for pain. She had been pacing and was restless prior and we weren't sure what was wrong with her. After seeing your video, I checked what she was given because after this shot, she started panting heavily and became very antisocial, acted as if she was upset with me or didn't know me and was not herself. Doctor told us to continue the drugs in pill form, which I did not do. She recovered but am wondering after seeing her medical report, if the injection given was the drug above since the pill was mentioned after to continue. I'm curious because after this she has developed allergies and other health issues that we have yet been able to figure out and treat effectively...cough, postnasal drip, allergies, nasal discharge, etc. She was very healthy prior to this. This is what the medical report said:
+Deborah Kunesh ER clinic gave 5mg Torb IM and dispensed Carprofen 25mg PO BID and Tramadol 50mg; 1 tab PO
BID if needed
Hi Deborah,
It may or may not be the cause. Likely the big takeaway is avoiding it in the pill form, and then being very clear asking prior to any meds being injected into your dog
+Veterinary Secrets Thank you Dr. Jones for your answer.
My dog is in ICU second night from rimadyl
When using rimadyl about 9 years I give it to her sparingly when she's in dire need maybe 1/4 tablet once a week
My dog has permanent brain damage from just 4 doses of 25mg of this terrible drug. The number of dogs affected is WAY underreported due to too many vets ignoring cause and effect. I tried to report adverse affects to the drug company and was not able to get through to anyone who cared. I don't know that generic drug makers even track this stuff.
I'm sorry to hear that, it does need to be tracked more.
Cosequin Safe???
i wish i had known about my rabies shot but no one told me it was made pfizer and almost killed both of my dogs both now on home remidies my veterenarian didnt know what to do since then i wont go back there i will treat them at home
Yes avoid if you can
is that a lot though, 89 million dogs in the USA?
my dog just died may 1 2019 because rimadyl it killed his liver then sam at the vet
Sorry to hear of this
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you he will be missed . they need to stop selling rimadyl and take it off the market it kills dogs , cats and people
@@Executiveinvestments- the vet did a test and confirmed his liver was killed by the rimadyl and you're right I'm not a scientist I just listened to the professionals.
Animals dying due to war on drugs, fear of opiates, sickening
It’s pretty low to label anyone who you disagree with as a “hater.” Just because people question or disagree doesn’t mean they are hating.
I watched your video because I wanted to learn more about Carprofen and I was curious what you’re responses were going to be to the two counter points made by the “haters.” Two things were left out. 1) you did not address the person’s point about the incredibly small percentage of cases compared to the millions of dogs who have been medicated without issue. Was that not a valid point? If something is fatal to only 1% of 1% I’m not sure I agree with your dire warnings about the drug. 2) you stated the two numbers you added together (deaths and euthanasia) but you did not explain why the euthanasia figure is relevant.
Sure there are incredibly isolated cases of dogs having reactions and dying from the drug and it is important people understand that, but the way in which you are presenting yourself makes it seem like this is a much bigger problem than it really is. For the few thousand animals that have had complications there are millions of dogs who have benefitted from the drug. My own pup, a 12yr old boxador, couldn’t even sit or lay down without his knees making him groan in pain. Carprofen allows him to go for walks and spend his twilight years in comfort instead of pain. Millions of others can say the same thing.
My dog died after use carprofen.
There called internet trolls
Our vet just gave us this drug for my dogs genital swelling😮
Why not baby aspirin? Isn't that safer?
Hi,
It is all about dose. 'Baby' Aspirin only means that it is 80mg/tab. The dog dose is 325mg/40lbs twice daily
My hundred pound pitbull just ate 600 mg of Rimadyl what should I do
Hopefully OK now- best to induce vomiting if that were to happen again
