Carprieve..

Wondering how long it takes to get out of a dogs system ?

The mean terminal half-life of carprofen is approximately 8 hours (range 4.5-9.8 hours) after single oral doses varying from 1-35 mg/kg of body weight.

Thanks Ness, hope your girls are going well !!

It depends on for what purpose you're asking. The minimum washout period between different NSAIDS and drugs like prednisololone vary. Although the clinical effects of analgesia last 24 hours there can be some residual effects beyond that.

Last dose of Carprieve Friday morning, advised to start Previcox Sunday morning............had been told on a different occasion to wait longer than 2 days !!

There's no specific guidelines for washouts when switching between NSAIDs with the same mode of action , but a full 24 hours (ie . 48 hours between doses) is usually sufficient if there are no underlying issues or problems. It is longer if your are switching to or from steroids or aspirin or less COX2 selective drugs.

Thanks yet again for your help Rappie, I was just a bit concerned about being told different time lines, but different circumstances, I guess.
