If she was just at the vet, call and tell them you saw little improvement. On that medicine. They will recommend you come in for a further work up, which is best. But often times they may be able to try another medicine first I would it recommend any Tylenol or aspirin at home as they can have side effects and are in the same class as the deramaxx such you will unlikely notice any relief Rest at home is a good option. You can also add omega 3 fatty acids and fish oils to the diet to help with joint pain from arthritis. Adding a canine glucosamine and chondrotin supplement makes a big difference Ce also. These can be purchased online or any pet store

My vet prescribed Deramaxx for my dog who has been panting and trying to reach his back side for unknown reasons. This is to rule out (or in) if there is any pains that are causing him to act this way. I came across some horror stories of dogs dying
I can understand your concerns. Deramaxx, just like any other pet formulated NSAID, has the potential to cause adverse reactions in dogs. There is no medicine for suspected osteoarthritis that is considered 100% free of possible side effects in dogs. With that said, you should be informed on the potential side effects and what symptoms to watch out for that could indicate there is a problem, such as vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite, loose stool with or without blood, and to notify your vet if any are seen. For long term use, it is advised to have baseline bloodwork done on your pet to rule out any underlying kidney or liver problems as well. And if your pets history of health is unclear or unknown to your vet, bloodwork should even be considered before the first dose is given.

My female golden lab mix is 12. Vet prescribed Deramaxx 75 mg, give 1/2 tab a day. She's also taking Hepato Support for liver. I'm having $ problems paying for Deramaxx. However, Brandie is my baby. Is there a safe substitute for this NSAID?
There are many alternatives to Deramaxx , not human ones though and they all cost more or less the same. to get a better price ask your vet for a prescription and buy it online, the price difference, it can sometimes be up to 3 times cheaper this way.

I took my dog to the vet for a broken nail. They anaesthetized him and also gave him his annual shots. He was sent home with Deramaxx for inflammation and now he is experiencing vomiting, bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite, and lethargy. I have withhe
You should call your vet and give him/her an update as your vet may want to recheck your dog. Discontinuing the Deramaxx was the correct thing to do. If the vomiting has stopped than you could try some chicken breast and white rice and see if he will eat that and then gradually get him back on his regular food. If he still won't eat, than your vet should run bloodwork on him to check his liver and kidney function. Hope he feels better soon!

A one time double dose of deramaxx should not cause major problems. Signs to watch for anytime they are on an anti inflammatory medication include decreased appetite, vomiting, or dark back stool. If any of these signs are noted stop the deramaxx and call your vet. Baron should do ok!!
