How often does she need an injection? Do you do this at home?

Rimadyl does have some very serious side effects.

Please research completely before considering this drug for your 
dog.  My Mishka has severe arthritis of her spine.  She was on 
Glucosamine for years until it would not longer control her pain.  I 
have switched to Adequan, an injectible Glucosamine which is 
giving her good pain relief.  Adequan also has side effects, but 
nothing like long term Rimadyl use.
