Can Deramaxx be crushed?
No, Deramaxx tablets or capsules should not be crushed - they should be administered whole.
When does deramaxx for dogs expire?
Deramaxx for dogs usually expires about 2-3 years after the manufacturing date. You can find the expiration date on the packaging of the medication. Make sure to check the expiration date before giving your dog Deramaxx to ensure its effectiveness.
Can you combine rimadl and deramaxx?
It is not recommended to combine Rimadyl (carprofen) and Deramaxx (deracoxib) as they both belong to the same class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can increase the risk of side effects such as gastrointestinal ulcers, kidney damage, and liver toxicity. If both medications are deemed necessary, your veterinarian may recommend adjusting the dosage or frequency of administration to minimize potential complications. Always consult your vet before combining medications.
Can you give a dog Celebrex?
celebrex is a very strong anti inflammatory it MIGHT be ok. i know Valium is ok and that's even stronger. safer for the vet to take care of though. start at a tiny tinnyyy dosage
Can you give a dog deramaxx and benadryl together?
Yes, it is a common thing. I worked in an animal hospital for years as the pharmacy tech. Deramaxx can be damaging to a dogs liver or kidneys because it is an NSAID-so when a vet puts a dog on it, she usually recommends blood work every few months. Benedryl, while still being metabolized in the liver, is not as harmful. Some dogs take it every day for allergies. Just listen to your vets recommendations and following the guidlines. I believe a pet should be comfortable, because they dont understand pain or allergies. Just trust your vet and listen to your pet!
Can you switch immediately from Deramaxx to Rimadyl?
I am switching my dog from deramax to rimadyl and my vet said to wait at least 5 days off do deramax before giving rimadyl. If you don't wait to switch the results are fatal to the dogs digestive system. Don't do this I lost one dog this way.
Can you give your dog Benadryl and Frontline Plus at the same time?
Yes, it is a common thing. I worked in an animal hospital for years as the pharmacy tech. Deramaxx can be damaging to a dogs liver or kidneys because it is an NSAID-so when a vet puts a dog on it, she usually recommends blood work every few months.

Do dogs get "growing pains?" Believe it or not, dogs do go through growing pains. The two most frequent causes are panosteitis and hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD). These two diseases are seen in rapidly growing, medium to large-breed dogs and may result in a shifting leg lameness or lameness in one particular limb. Certain breeds such as Great Danes, Weimaraners, Irish wolfhounds, Labrador retrievers, Saint Bernards, Boxers, and German shepherds seem to be more predisposed. While there is no known cause for these "growing pains," speculation includes a genetic component or rapid growth from a high protein puppy diet. With panosteitis, the ulna (where your funny bone is) is the most commonly affected bone, while the radius (the other side of the ulna or your forearm), humerus (upper arm), and femur are the next most affected limbs. HOD is most commonly seen in the front legs in dogs, and results in widened, inflamed, warm, painful joints. These "growing pain" diseases can be identified on x-rays of the affected limb. If you notice these signs in Fido, make sure to take him to a vet for x-rays. This will help rule out other orthopedic diseases we can see in young or juvenile dogs such as hip dysplasia, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), ununited anconeal process, and fragmented medial coronoid process which require surgery. While there's no "cure" for panosteitis or HOD, treatment is supportive care - in other words, using anti-inflammatory pain medications (such as Rimadyl, Deramaxx, etc), doing physical therapy, using appropriate nursing care (such as soft beds), restricting exercise, tempting them to eat, and changing their diet (to a lower protein diet) may be beneficial. Old wives' tales include the use of Vitamin C as a supplement, but this has not been scientifically validated. Nevertheless, the use of Vitamin C is relatively benign as it is a water-soluble vitamin - in other words, Fido will just pee out all that extra supplementation.Material from It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet: Everything you ever wanted to know about your four-legged friend, available at amazon.com.
