Previcox Dog Medicine and Prescriptions

Which is better for my dog's arthritis previcox, meloxicam, or galliprant?

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 227 mg Previcox 1x day & 50 mg Tramadol every 4-6 hrs. Gabapentin was tried but didn't help. We have decided to make the final trip Monday. Can we try an extra dose of Previcox to help him through Sunday? Want to ease his pain, not kill him.

Max fell down a metal staircase 2 weeks ago, got hurt. Went to vet. X-rays taken, vet said nothing broken, prescribed 10 day course of Previcox. After taking medication for 6 days Max was still crying when standing up and not running at all. Returned to vet, took another look at X-rays and found a small hairline fracture at the top of Max's right hip bone - not very visible on X-ray. 10 more days of Previcox. No more crying, still limping slightly, runs. Bump on Max's back. Wait or operate?

Hi my puppy broke bones in his leg he is a chocolate lab and is very active. He has a soft cast and was put on previcox. Can I give him a calming agent with melatonin in it to keep him calm while his leg heals so he doesn't cause further damage?

St Bernard ate 9 previcox normal dose is 1.5. The medicine is for our other St. The one that ate the pills is 9 months old. Not sure how long ago she ate them. Could have been as early as 3pm until 15min ago. We have other dogs in the house but pretty sure she is the one who ate them.

Dog got into the Previcox, not sure how much he ate. Maybe a few pills. This was last night. Now he is acting strange. Skittish and afraid of walking on the tile floor. Eating and drinking okay. Should I be concerned? I have given him two does of Pepcid to help his stomach. His color is good and so are his stools.

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 medication for cats before and it gave amazing results. I'd like to have a second professional opinion.

My dog has not been able to urinate since 3:30 am today even after getting several cups of water throughout the day. I would like to know if this is a symptom of kidney failure or if it could just be a bladder stone/blockage? She’s on several medications including SMZ-TMP, Previcox, Tramadol

My dog Bean is nearly 8 years old and feels pain when we touch him recently. I found him lying on the ground all the time. I took him to the vet he told me Bean is suffering from bone spurs. Here is his CT. We gave him Previcox and he is now getting much better, wanting to play with us. I’m wondering is this a really bone spurs? How should I treat him?

I may have given my 18 lb bichon too much Previcox (57MG) Her regular dose of 1/4 of a tablet given at 9:00 last night, she May have had 1/4 tab. at 9 this morning and then regular dose of 1/4 tab at 9 tonight. Her tablets are 57 mg. I'm second guessing that I may have mistakenly given the a.m. dose, I'm not sure what to do? Is there anything to worry about?
