Gottalovealab Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hey guys. My friends girl has just come back from having X- Rays and its possible that it could be Osteoarthritis. She has been given Deramaxx for it, i thought maybe i could get some info on it from people who have used it before? All i know is that its an anti-inflammatory so I am not much help She has read up on some of the possible side affects and to be quite honest, after i read them, it kind of put her and me off wanting to use it. Any help and past experiences would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If you read the leaflets for the other NSAID's they all same much the same thing. Deramaxx is a new generation Cox 2 inhibitor which is specifically geared for Osteoarthritis and Orthopaedic surgery. Make sure she gives them to her dog with a decent amount of food. I assume this is a short dose to see how her dog goes? Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witheverythingiam Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If it were me, I'd rather put my dog on a course of Cartrophen Injections, or Sylvet Capsules. Then a once a month dose for life. That's just me though. -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
