Rimadyl and Deramaxx

Does your pet tire easily, have trouble getting up or limp? Are they reluctant to play or climb stairs? These may be signs of arthritis and you should contact us to see if Rimadyl or Deramaxx may be appropriate. Arthritis affects dogs of any breed, age, or size, and while it cannot be cured, many cases can be managed with the help of medication, diet, and exercise. These medications may also be used for pain relief after surgery or injury.

Rimadyl and Deramaxx are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that help by decreasing inflammation that may be responsible for pain. However, no medication is without side effects. If your pet experiences vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite while taking either of these medications, it may be related to the use of Rimadyl or Deramaxx. These drugs can adversely affect kidney and liver function as well, so it is important that we run blood work periodically while your pet is taking these medications.
