My 11 year 85 lb Rott-GSD mix has hip dysplasia & arthritis in his shoulder. He has severe pain, doesn't put weight on his rear leg in the last few weeks. Has several oozing sarcomas on his back. We have been seeing his vet every 2 wks. He is on
I'm so sorry Bubba is doing so poorly! Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to say it's safe to give an extra dose of medication without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. If he's in a lot of pain, I would give his vet a call now to discuss if they feel it's safe to give him some extra Previcox. Best of luck.

Can 1/2 of a previcox 237 mg tablet cause a canine to have to urinate ? My 10 1/2 month old basset had 1 tonight for panostetis He seemed to need to go out but started to Pee a little in the house
That would be an unusual side effect of Previcox, especially if he just had one dose. If that continues then you should call your vet and let him/her know as your vet may want to check a urine sample.

Which is better for my dog's arthritis previcox, meloxicam, or galliprant?
Each of them work slightly differently but at the end of the day all three of them reduce inflammation which is probably the most important aspect of treating arthritis. there is no definitive answer to your question, each dog respond differently to pain medications, some dogs will benefit more from one over the other two. i would probably advise starting with Meloxicam first.

My cat was spayed today and the doctor prescribed Previcox (firocoxib) 57 mg. I was checking the drug online, and i found out that it should not be given to cats and it might be fatal. I contacted my vet, but he said that he had prescribed this medic
According to Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, while Previcox may ultimately be shown to be safe for use in cats, supporting information or FDA approval is not currently available for it to be recommended. I don't like to disagree or contradict a vet's recommendations, but because there isn't supporting evidence that it's safe to be used in cats, another pain medication may be better to use on Haley. I would speak to your vet about getting another pain medication prescribed for her.

I gave my dog a Previcox pill (half of 227 mg) a couple nights ago for sudden pain he was having after going to the park (he had FHO surgery couple months ago) He was still in pain so today the vet prescribed him Vetprofen 100mg to take for 15 days.
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Great question! No, I would not be worried about this scenario. Typically we don't like to give two different NSAIDs very close together but that is mostly when a dog has been on one long-term and we want to switch to another. Has only having one dose of previcox a few days is not really concerning. The main reason we worry is the potential for gastric ulceration. If you want to be cautious you could give him some omeprazole for a week but it would be best to contact your vet before adding in any other medications. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
