| OK, how bout Adequan? |
| Rimadyl had a bad effect on my OES Jake. It caused him to drink enormous amounts of water, and then he had accidents in the house. He never had urination accidents before the drug, nor at any time after stopping.
The vet told us a little while later that it sounded like a liver "reaction" or "problem", or something like that. As far as Adequan goes, we also tried that, but the result was unsatisfactory for us -- it didn't appear to help in our dog's case. I have heard positive remarks from others. Good luck |
| Ron, what did you do next? Did you find another solution? Thanks |
| We tried and failed with acupuncture as well. You can read all about it in "When is enough enough?" thread at the forum...
http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?t=27 It's a long thread. The best and very long lasting solution was Piroxicam/Tagamet then Piroxicam/Cytotec when the stomach needed some more protection. Another thread that was about Piroxicam: http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?p=680#680 Also, you can try the search function on the forum. Its button is located right under the word "forum" at the top of the page. Good luck, and let me know if I can help. -Ron. |
| About 8 yrs ago when Rimadyl was new my OES was placed on it for her arthritis. After 1 1/2 yrs she developed an enlarged liver was taken off and needed to be put down. She went into liver failure. I even researched the drug before giving it to her back then this was not a side effect. I would try other means

| Our 11 year old OES was on Rimadyl for 6 mos without good results. We switched him to Zubrin and he is doing much, much better! Our vet also suggested Science Diet senior dog food with gluclosomine. Best wishes to you and your OES. |
