Pain Relief Please!
There are two main medications that Veterinarians usually prescribe for pain relief treatments in dogs. These two canine pain relief treatments are Rimadyl and Metacam. Both of these medications may have moderate to severe side effects for your pet. These are controlled medicines that can only be purchased with a prescription.
Rimadyl - Rimadyl (Carprofen), is produced by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and was introduced into the market in January 1997. It has proven to be an effective means of relieving arthritis pain in dogs. Since it’s introduction there has been serious concern about the side effects of the medication. Many pet owners have reported death of their pets due to adverse reactions to Rimadyl.
When my dog needed relief from her arthritis my Vet suggested that we use Metacam instead of Rimadyl due specifically to the large number of side effects with Rimadyl.
Metacam - Or Meloxicam is an NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and is closely related to ibuprofen. My Vet likened it to ibuprofen on steroids (although there are no steroids in it). It was suggested that Metacam was a far safer (yet more expensive) choice than Rimadyl. I found my Lab Brussel tolerated it very well and could not identify any side effects from it. The only downside I could see was the money. It should be noted that Metacam can be used to treat other painful conditions including injuries, surgery and cancer.
ArthroIonX - ArthroIonX is a mineral complex that has been formulated to help repair damaged joints and tissue in pets caused by arthritis. This pain relief therapy for dogs is not known to have any side effects for pets and is available without a prescription. The all-natural ingredients used in ArthroIonX can dramatically reduce the symptoms of arthritis in pets. ArthroIonX contains no artificial additives, chemically generated compounds, or artificial additives.
