Thank you for submitting your question regarding Danny. Flurbiprofen is a pain and anti-inflammatory eye medication. It can used when either of these conditions is present. However, it is most commonly used to combat inflammation from diabetes induced cataracts. I hope this information helps!

Is there any difference between rimadyl and carprofen
Both have the same active ingredient - which is Carprofen actually. Rimadyl is the brand name of the first and most well known Carprofen. Carprofen is a generic name. If comparing to human medicine , rimadyl would be the equivalent of advil/neurofen, while carprofen would be ibuprofen (the active ingredient in advil and neurofen).

Hi my vet is treating my dog for an indolent eye ulcer which so far isn't healing well For pain relief she is taking tramadol and carprieve but she isn't handling her pain well I hv read that gabapentin can be used also Which kind of pain relief
Unfortunately eye pain can be difficult to treat - oral medications sometimes don’t seem to make much difference. There is some evidence that tramadol is not metabolized well in dogs so I think gabapentin might be a reasonable alternative. Ultimately healing the ulcer will be most important - if it does not seem to be healing well you may need to see a specialist to have a burr procedure or keratotomy in order for it to heal. Topical pain medication might be another option but can sometimes slow the healing process.

What does this carprofen medicine is used for ? Also what does this means elimination is half life 8hrs ? Also my dog was having pain in his rear left leg he lift also sometimes so my vet prescribed carprofen for 6 days twice daily 100mg and his weig
Carprofen is an nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication (NSAID) like aspirin or ibuprofen for humans. It's used daily for arthritis or other chronic pain, and short term for more acute/temporary pain. The half life is the amount of time it takes for half of the drug to leave the body (via the liver, kidneys/bladder, or gut). Carprofen can occasionally have side effects on the liver, so if he's going to be on it long term, it's usually recommended to check liver values after 2 weeks. That said, liver issues are rare. Intestinal upset (vomiting/diarrhea) are also possible side effects and if he had any of that you'd want to stop and figure out a different appropriate medication with his vet. With just 6 days of medication, no additional testing will be done. You can (and should, if that is how it was prescribed) give carporfen daily. Appropriate supplements could include fish oils and glucosamine and others, depending on what exactly is going on. I'd recommend asking about supplements f

My husky/malamute is on vetprofen for hip dysplasia and arthritis. It seems to help her, but I can tell that she wants to do more than she is able to. I ordered her an organic turmeric and curcumin supplement to take. I haven't received it yet, but I
Yes, it’s fine to give. Please follow the directions. I would also give her an Omega3 supplement since that will also reduce the inflammation and her pain from the arthritis. You may also want to consult a Rehabilitation Veterinarian in your area. They can give home care exercises, build muscle strength with hydrotherapy and many also do acupuncture to reduce the pain. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Phoebe.
