Has anyone given an older dog the arthritis medication Deramaxx with GOOD results, WITHOUT side effects?

Healthy Pet Blogger — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:34:07 +0000

I have heard so much about possible liver, kidney, or other damage, & my vet does admit there are risks, but still wants me to give this medication to my elderly dogs, a mixed breed & a lab. They DO have severe pain & impaired mobility due to arthritis, but I wonder if the medication will do more harm than good? So far, the mix seems better, the lab is about the same, but I still feel weird about giving the meds. What experiences have other dog owners had with it? Anything GOOD? Thanks.

Are there any natural forms of pain relief for a dog with arthritis?

Healthy Pet Blogger — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:52:31 +0000

My 8 year old husky has arthritis in her hips, are there any natural forms of pain relief that might help her? Massage, herbs, etc?
I ask because my dog has been on both Rimadyl (spelling?) and Deramax and they both make her throw up, so I was just wondering if there was something natural that would help her.

I think my Min Pin is “showing” signs of arthritis. When I take her to her vet, what type of test(s) will he do, to determine if it is arthritis?
Thank you.

Question about Cat Peeing on Furniture?

Healthy Pet Blogger — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 02:39:46 +0000

My husband and I own a domestic shorthair tabby who is about a year and a half old. We also own two dogs. All of our pets are female. They all get along wonderfully and our cat often tries to play with the dogs. The cat and our one dog are actually really close and they will lay together and sleep together in their favorite chair in the living room and on the bed in our bedroom. The other dog is older and isn’t mean to her, but just keeps to herself more. We recently moved into a new home and have been here since August. All of our pets have adjusted really well. However now I’m starting to have second thoughts about the cat. We have a sectional sofa in a “sitting room” in a part of the house we do not use that often, near where her litter box is. Almost every day or every other day we are finding little puddles of pee on the sofa. The puddles are too small to be from our dogs, so we know it is the cat. We have a litter box which is cleaned on a daily basis so I know that is not the issue. We have a huge cat tower for her to play on and we cuddle with her and give her lots of attention on a daily basis. It is really baffling us as to why she would pee on the sofa like this!! We don’t really have a lot of toys for her, so the only thing I can think of is that she is either bored and we should get her more toys, or, maybe she is lonely and would like another cat in the house? I mean, we do have 2 dogs, and she is by herself, the only cat in the house. She tries to play with the dogs but that is not the same as playing with another cat. Or is it possible that she still just has not adjusted from moving into this new house? She never used to do this in the old house. What do you all think? Please help!!
