THANK YOU so much for that, Hound Dog Mom!

Rimadyl really worked for my dog, Roo, but I only had him on it for 10 days. I know that anti-inflammatory drugs can cause GI problems, and the vet never gave me a time limit on how long to give him the Rimadyl. I’m skeptical about keeping the Rimadyl around as a pain reliever, even if I only give it when he seems to be in pain. I don’t want to take the risk of causing GI damage/liver damage over time.

Also, Dr. Becker has a practice in my area… Maybe I should check that out…

Thanks for the links!
