Sorry about your pup. If you do a search, you will find a few discussions of piroxicam. Here's one: Old Age Medications for Pain
Hi;

Check out the following article:

Old Age Medications for Pain

One of the important takeaways from that is the use of a stomach protectant such as Tagamet to protect the tummy. Check with your vet for dosage but I think for our 100 pound sheepie it was 300 or 400 mg of Tagamet.

Piroxicam was a godsend for our dog.

Can I ask you about your dog's weight and the dosage (how many mgs and how many times per day) your vet prescribed?
I'm taking proxicam for my arthirits. Check it out if your vet perscriped it then it should be ok. but check it out.
Vet just gave us a sample to use for MO and her arthritis.
