RE: [pyrnet] Rimadyl?!?
Roger...Our
5yr 10 mo pyr showed up with the same symptoms one morning. We did a 1
week cycle with Rimadyl to see if that would help resolve the problem. It
didnt and we had x-rays only to find out that our girl had pretty advanced bone
cancer. Her front legs and chest looked like it had buck shot holes in the
bones. I'm not suggesting that your dog may be in that situation, my only
thought is that you dont want to wait. Find out as quickly as
possible. Nothing can spare the heart ache if it something serious, but I
just dont think you wait weeks messing with tea leaves and home
remedies.
Our thoughts
will be with you as you find out more info.

My 6 1/2 yr. old pyr just started limping (left
front leg shoulder or wrist - not her pads). My obedience trainer suggests I
get her on this med and glucosamine. But frankly, there's
>>> a lot <<< of negative info about this drug on the web
and I'd thinking I'd rather not go that route. Sticking to Aspirin.
(Definitely yes to the glucosamine, but no to the Rimadyl). I hate to say
this, but I don't trust my Vet to make the right decision. Anyone had any
experience with this drug?
Ultimately we're out of training and any
activity for several months and if it doesn't resolve itself, I'll end up
going the X-rays route but only probably with a new 'yet to be determined'
vet.
We had to pull out of our first round of trials for our CDX. So
discouraging, she was so ready and then to go lame. UGH!
Thanks
all.
