So sorry to hear your dog is suffering It sounds like you recognized the danger signs and reacted quickly.

I know Rimadyl's got its issues, but as SlowButSteady said, for some pets it's a wonderful drug. I've got a 14.5 year old cocker who wouldn't be alive right now without Rimadyl. Deramaxx stopped working, and he got to the point that he couldn't walk without stronger drugs. He's also operating on one lung (the other is full of some kind of mass, but without surgery they don't know what it is) and has a mass in his liver. Complications from Rimadyl are the least of his worries right now.

So far his appetite is fine, but thanks for the warning...I'll be sure to be on the lookout. Sadly, it's the end of the road for Remy if Rimadyl causes problems.
