About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Rimadyl is used to treat pain and inflammation associated with joint diseases like arthritis and hip dysplasia.

Key Benefits: Carprofen is believed to work by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity.

Formulated For: For dogs 6 weeks of age or older.

How is Medication Given?

  • Typically, dogs will willingly consume these palatable, chewable tablets when offered by hand. For this reason, hand-feeding is a convenient option. This medication can also be combined with food. In either case, pet parents should ensure that the full dose is consumed.
  • These tablets are pre-scored, and dosage rates should be calculated to the nearest half-tablet. To break in half, place the scored tablet on a hard surface, then press down on either side of the score.
  • Recommended oral dosage rate is 2 mg daily per pound of body weight. Administer the full amount in one daily dose, or administer 1 mg per pound two times each day.
  • To control pain after an operation, administer about 2 hours prior to surgery.

    What Results Can I Expect? Rimadyl is an easy-to-administer, chewable formula that is safe to administer long-term to relieve canine joint pain.

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Chewable Tablet

    Dose and Administration: Sold in 30-count, 60-count, or 180-count bottles of scored tablets in strengths of 25, 75, or 100 mg.

    Possible Side Effects: Familiarize yourself with the clinical signs associated with each potential adverse reaction. These might include:

  • Behavioral changes
  • Incoordination
  • Lethargy
  • Seizures
  • Anemia-related gum paleness
  • Jaundice-related yellow of the gums, eyes, or skin
  • Increased water consumption

  • Routine follow-ups are important during NSAID treatment.
  • The majority of patients experiencing side effects recover when the drug is withdrawn and veterinary care is pursued.
  • Severe NSAID-related reactions can occur suddenly and, although rare, can cause death. Withdraw use and consult your vet at once if you believe our pet is experiencing drug intolerance.

    Precautions: Never administer to a dog with previous hypersensitivity to carprofen. Do not administer to a cat.

    Storage Recommendations: Do not freeze. Store in a cool and dry location 59- 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C)
