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.”
