I wonder how many dogs THIS drug will kill or seriously harm. For those who don't know, Rimadyl, like all NSAIDS (COX-2 inhibitors), has piled up thousands of reports of deaths and other adverse effects with the FDA...AND has been the target of numerous class action law suits -- yet the FDA has done nothing to pull this dangerous drug from the market. Sadly, we lost our G'Kar to Rimadyl toxicity and we will never use another Pfizer product for ourselves or our animals. Nor will we use veterinarians who are either too stupid or too greedy to acknowledge the dangers that Rimadyl (and the other COX-2 inhibitors Etogesic, Metacam, Deramaxx and Piroxicam) poses to dogs and their unsuspecting guardians.

We drive 50 miles to our vet and the sheltie always gets sick. Nothing works except some form of anesthesia which is risky just before surgury so we don't do it. Something safe would be delightful. We will not give up our sheltie for just such a small thing but he would be happier I am sure. Is there information about Cerenia and reaction to anesthesia coming up for teeth cleaning?
