<div dir="ltr">Have you tried Metacam drops instead of Rimadyl? I switched my Copper to them after he'd been on Rimadyl for arthritis for some time. Not only did the Metacam work better but it was easier to give and had fewer side effects!<div>

<br><div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi it's Snoopy,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>She's clueless and it's all her fault. You see .... long ago the vetPerson told her that Rimadyl can upset the stomach. And, a few weeks ago I was pooping pools of blood. So, after she got over her panic attack and rushed me to the vet she decided I shouldn't have any more Rimadyl. She told the vet this and the vet said I could have it but she said if I wasn't limping I wasn't getting anymore. I don't limp on my crooked leg anymore because of my suppliment. I still get a stiff sore back and hips in the winter though, especially when it rains. Just like the clueless dadPerson. I haven't needed much Rimadyl in summer before, but almost always in winter. And I'm 7 1/2 already for crying out loud I'm not getting any younger.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, the weeks went on and I didn't limp and I got no Rimadyl and I got stiffer and sorer and this little whipper snapper Gracie she's a bouncing and a bounding all over the place around here. I start to move toward the couch and whoosh .... she's already in the spot I was heading for. Shes a bumpin and a jostling and leaping and a playing and it's enough to make a saint curse. It really is. I never ever hurt little Gracie, I just let her know HEY, give an old man some space here.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So finally after repeated posts to the drool somebody wrote the idiot, er, clueless momPerson and said "do you think he could be in pain?" Like maybe because you made him go cold turkey off his pain meds perhaps.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm back on my Rimadyl and I'm mellow and sweet and cuddly (AHROOOOOOOOOOO). Well, for me I am.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>More later from Snoopy</div>
<div>with LuLu, konker extrodinaire</div>
<div>and Gracie the Princess (ok, ok, she can be a Princess once in a while)</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
