Is your Pet taking Rimadyl to relieve Arthritis Pain? Has Rimadyl been prescribed for your Cat’s Arthritis? If your dog or cat is taking Rimadyl, Carprofen, Vetprofen or Novox, pet owners should be aware of the risks associated with giving this drug.
Rimadyl, which is also marketed under the names: Carprofen, Vetprofen and Novox, is a drug prescribed by veterinarians to help relieve pet arthritis and joint pain in dogs and cats. Rimadyl is member of a group of drugs, classified as a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug’s, which veterinarian’s refer to as NSAID’s.
Rimadyl in dogs and cats has caused many serious, adverse side effects, one of which is sudden death. Other adverse reactions of Rimadyl may include liver and kidney damage as well as paralysis.
The Rimadyl Class Action Law Suit was settled in 1999, just 2 years after Rimadyl hit the pet market. As a result, today veterinarians are required to hand pet owners a disclosure form which states that “Rimadyl can cause death.”
Hello Cat Lovers, I want to share this note I received with all of you:
Two weeks ago, I received a desperate phone call from a woman with an 18 year old cat, named Angel. Angel was on the verge of being euthanized because her owner and her vet had run out of ideas to help her.
Angel had suffered a broken pelvis from being hit by a car several years ago and then developed such severe arthritis, not only was she unable to climb into her litter box, now she had stopped eating and wasn’t even able to pass stool on her own.
She was told that the arthritis was so advanced; it had resulted in narrowing of her pelvic canal to the point where she could not defecate on her own. She had been hospitalized twice, was put on IV fluids and given enemas to try to relieve her constipation. The problem was that as soon as she went home the problem recurred.
Hi Dr. Carol,
I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for your help with my 18 year old cat, Angel. She has passed her bowels 3 times since I last talked to you and she no longer struggles to go. She is bright and alert and looks just so happy. She is coming down stairs several times a day when before she never did. Her coat looks cleaner and smoother. I am so thankful and I am sure Angel is too. Karen
Not being sure if she was going to make it, now I can’t believe she has recovered so quickly. She is right next to me now watching me type. It’s amazing. I haven’t talked to my vet yet, he is on vacation and doesn’t return until Friday and the other vets there I really don’t have faith in. My vet that was one who told me to call you is only there 2 days a week. I know he will be very pleased to hear how well Angel is doing.
I don’t know exactly what’s responsible for her sudden turnaround…maybe a combination of everything. However; the very first day that I gave her the Paaws, she started to walk a bit better. Giving her only wet food with the veggies, as you suggested, is definitely helping to soften her stools and it seems to be making it easier for her to have a bowel movement.
I will start giving her the hip and joint tonight in her food. I would definitely have to say the Paaws worked wonders because that is the only thing that she has been on for any length of time. She had a bowel movement on Thursday and Friday and then one today.
Cory is a German Shepherd. She is 14 years old and has hip dysplasia and arthritis. Mozart, my 12 year old Labrador Retriever also has arthritis and his hind legs were pretty stiff.
In 15 days, Mozart is starting to prance when we go on walks and Cory just ran to the back of my backyard in a foot of snow as she heard kids going by to play. All I have to say is that I have ordered a year’s supply of PAAWS vitamins today!
Over the last decade advances in veterinary medicine have nearly doubled the canine life span. The technological innovations we now offer for pets, parallel those available for people, reaching far beyond our previous expectations. What are the factors limiting longevity in pets? What impact do anti-oxidant supplementation and dietary intervention have on lengthening healthy life spans for pets? Successful techniques for rejuvenating the body and lengthening life spans in people have been documented. Would similar strategies prove effective for dogs?
George, a 7 year old Dalmatian not only suffered from severe arthritis, he was also paralyzed, due to a spinal injury. Surgery cost was estimated at $4000, with no guarantee of success and little hope of him ever walking again. George’s owners, Don and Pam Brennan were devastated and sadly carried George out of the office that day on a stretcher. He couldn’t even stand up to go to the bathroom. With tears streaming down their faces, they knew it was the end. They spent that night together saying their final goodbyes.
The next morning a friend told them about ongoing clinical trials of an anti-aging pet product. This was their last chance. They had nothing to lose, so they gave it a try.
Within 30 days, George was out in the front yard playing with the other dogs. He was back to the way he used to be, playful like a puppy. George enjoyed several healthy, happy years thereafter. Pam and Don were thrilled-they got their dog back!
Anti-Aging medicine, although not yet formally recognized by the AVMA, is the newest clinical medical specialty offered to human physicians. So, why wouldn’t this be applicable for veterinarians as well? Read the rest of this entry »
Hormones naturally decline as people age… but what about hormones in our pets? In general, and as televised by Oprah herself, hormones are needed by the body and brain to grow, sustain life and function normally. Specifically, the female hormones of importance are estrogen and progesterone and in males testosterone dominates.
Have you ever wondered why so many pets are dying of cancer, suffering from obesity related issues, including arthritis and/or diagnosed with diabetes?
We didn’t get Belles paaws vitamins and after a few days I panicked and re-ordered, this time I signed up for 2 months worth at a time. I think they all came in the same day. This way we just figure we will always be ahead and won’t run out.
Her arthritis is much better and now she enjoys playing again and is able to climb in and out of her litter box, so no more “accidents.”
Belle love’s the new flavor, at night all I have to say is “Belle come get your nigh nigh pill” and she is right there! Same with her morning paaws vitamin.
We are delighted with your product and appreciate all your help and excellent advice.
I just received this nice note and wanted to share it with my cat loving friends:
Hello Dr. Carol,
I just recently e-mailed you about my Scottish Fold cat who will be turning 15 in September. You suggested the Paaws formula which I received. He also has Arthritis and I do give him Fish oils…. Glucosamine formula…..Instinct food…any other suggestions….
I think my cat Cartier has just been on your Paaws formula for 4 days as of today….and to my surprise he managed to jump up onto my very high bed this morning!
Thank you…….I need to keep this cat living as long as possible in good health. Poor thing had to have his penis removed at the age of 3 or 4.
I spent $30.000.00 in 3 years when I had no money. He lost one kidney in that surgery.
He is still playful. I never thought he would live so long after being on death bed, but with lots of care and good supplements like Paaws, he is still with me.

Our 15 year old cat seems to be acting more and more like he did when he was younger. His muscle strength has improved tremendously, for example, he is able to jump onto high stools with no problem. Before, we started him on the paaws vitamins he had to make many attempts before he was successful. I think his joints must be feeling better too. So far, he hasn’t had any more accidents outside the litter box, which is a really a blessing. As for the taste, he seems to really enjoy the paaws.
We are also giving the paaws pills to our other cat who is only 1 1/2 years old. He thinks he has wings or something, now he jumps from cabinet to cabinet, and they over 10 feet high and 6 feet apart.
The one thing he has never done before and is currently doing is that he jumps from the top of the cabinets to the ground. In the past when he was on top of the cabinets, he would jump to the counter top and then the ground (2 step process).
We are definitely seeing progress in energy, strength and hair coats in all 3 cats. I told my husband the more consistent he is on giving the cats their vitamins, the more progress and improvement he should see.
