smileyzookie Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 The medication is Deramaxx - isnt that what Miztiki's Boy is on? "He said the company tells veterinarians not only to inform pet owners of possible side effects -- especially stomach problems with anti-inflammatory drugs such as Deramaxx -- but also to conduct blood and sometimes urine tests before the drug is prescribed. Those tests can be expensive, however, and are not routinely done." I wonder how many vets actually know or actually inform their pet owners. And out of the vets who do, I wonder how many pet owners take it seriously and actually do the tests. I wouldnt think many would particularly if they are expensive, and if it isnt explained how it can make your dog even more sick if they dont.
