Rimadyl web site – and the side effects occur a lot more frequently than
Pfizer admits. A lot of dogs have died from allergic reactions to Rimadyl
or from liver or kidney failure caused by Rimadyl. Most people prefer to
use it as a last choice, not a first choice. It’s like any
prescription drug, for people or for animals, there are always tradeoffs, and
the side effects can be very serious. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

from bouts of pano. I originally started the FlexPet because I'd read it helped
with canine oral warts; hasn't done anything for his puppy warts but I will say
he has had no pano flare ups and is robust, bouncy, and perfectly sound (I hear
him in the backyard now yelling at squirrels). Here's their website: <a
href="http://www.flexpet.com/">www.FlexPet.com</a>. You can purchase the
product for less money on Amazon.com, just a little FYI! :)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

from Rimadyl where possible ... Baloo's vet prescribed Rimadyl for Baloo's
pano, 50mg 2x/day. What are the risks of Rimadyl? I haven't been using it as
the FlexPet is working really well for us, but I'm curious as to why Droolers
try to stay away from it where possible.....<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
