RIMADYL® CHEWABLES (carprofen) Chewable Tablets
Description
Canine non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in oral dosage form
Selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which generates prostaglandins involved in inflammation. (In vitro, clinical relevance has not been shown). Once-daily dosage provides anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects for 24 hours.
Approved Uses
RIMADYL® CHEWABLES are approved for: Pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. Control of postoperative pain associated with soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries in dogs.
Key Features
First and most widely used veterinary NSAID approved in the U.S. for canine use. Chewable tablets are scored and available in three strengths for convenient dosing. Well tolerated in canine safety studies.
Packaging
RIMADYL Chewable Tablets are scored and contain 25 mg, 75 mg or 100 mg of carprofen per caplet or tablet. Each Chewable Tablet size is packaged in bottles containing 7, 14, 30, 60 or 180 tablets.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage for oral administration to dogs is 2 mg/lb (4.4 mg/kg) of body weight daily. Total daily dose may be administered as 2 mg/lb of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb (2.2 mg/kg) twice daily. For control of postoperative pain, administer approximately 2 hours before the procedure. Caplets/tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-caplet/tablet increments.
Precautions
See label instructions for complete precautions, warnings and safety information. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. RIMADYL should not be used in dogs exhibiting previous hypersensitivity to carprofen. As a class, COX-inhibitory NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. When NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandins that cause inflammation, they may also inhibit prostaglandins which maintain normal homeostatic function. The most frequently reported effects have been gastrointestinal signs.
RIMADYL, like other drugs of its class, is not free from adverse reactions. Owners should be advised of the potential for adverse reactions and be informed of the clinical signs associated with drug intolerance. Serious adverse reactions associated with this drug class – including but not limited to gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic signs – can occur without warning and in rare situations result in death. Owners should be advised to discontinue RIMADYL therapy and contact their veterinarian immediately if signs of intolerance are observed.
The use of parenteral fluids during surgery should be considered to reduce the potential risk of renal complications when using NSAIDs perioperatively.
The safe use of RIMADYL in dogs less than 6 weeks of age, pregnant dogs, dogs used for breeding purposes, or in lactating bitches has not been established. Studies to determine the activity of RIMADYL given concomitantly with other protein-bound or similarly metabolized drugs have not been conducted. Drug compatibility should be monitored closely in patients requiring additional therapy. Concurrent use of RIMADYL with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as corticosteroids and NSAIDs, should be avoided or very closely monitored.
Keep out of reach of children. Not for human use. For use in dogs only.
Q. What should I do if I suspect my dog has arthritis?
A. If your dog exhibits any of the signs of arthritis pain, it’s important to schedule an exam with your veterinarian. He or she can diagnose and recommend the appropriate treatment program for your dog's arthritis. Often, this program may include dietary changes, exercise and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like Rimadyl to alleviate your dog’s pain. Together, these elements can help relieve joint stress and build muscle strength to make sure your dog remains an active part of your family.
Q. What is Rimadyl®?
A. Rimadyl® (carprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) developed and approved specifically for use in dogs. Indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation, Rimadyl has been shown to be clinically effective for the relief of signs associated with arthritis.
Q. How do I give Rimadyl to my dog?
A. Rimadyl is available as a scored caplet or chewable tablet. Both are administered orally in 25, 75, and 100 mg doses. Rimadyl also comes in an injectable formula that your veterinarian can administer in the hospital or clinic.
Q. How much Rimadyl do I give my dog?
A. Recommended dosage is 2 mg/lb. of body weight once a day. The veterinarian will recommend the correct dose for your dog.
Q. What does Rimadyl do for a dog with arthritis?
A. Rimadyl relieves arthritis pain, allowing for increased activity and freedom of movement, thereby improving a dog's quality of life. And, the increased activity helps maintain healthy weight, which helps slow down the progression of the disease.
Q. Are there any side effects associated with Rimadyl?
A. As with other pain relievers in this class, rare but serious digestive and liver side effects may occur. Signs of Rimadyl intolerance may include appetite loss, vomiting and diarrhea. Serious adverse reactions associated with this drug class can occur without warning and in rare situations result in death. If these signs occur, discontinue Rimadyl therapy and contact your veterinarian. For additional product details, including drug interaction information, click on Dog Owner Information. Of course, regular monitoring is required for pets on any medications. Rimadyl has been safely used in over 6 million dogs in the US and 10 million dogs worldwide.
Q. Does weight have an effect on arthritis?
A. Excess weight can put undue stress on the joints, ligaments and cartilage. So an obese dog with arthritis is likely to experience more pain than a dog that's trim. If your dog is overweight, ask your veterinarian about diets to help your dog lose weight safely.
Q. What about exercise for my dog with arthritis?
A. When arthritis makes it painful for your dog to move, chances are he’ll be less active. But inactivity can lead to problems too, such as decreased flexibility, joint stiffness, loss of muscle strength, and weight gain. The key is moderation: providing a healthy level of exercise that doesn’t put too much strain on your pet’s joints. Low-impact exercise, such as leash walking and swimming, can increase muscle strength and help stabilize joints. Start your dog's exercise program slowly to give your dog time to get in shape. Begin with several short walks, interspersed with rest periods. If your dog seems to experience more pain after exercise, decrease the exercise time by half. As muscle strength increases, gradually increase the length of your walks. But before starting any exercise program, discuss it with your veterinarian first, to ensure that it’s the right program for your dog.
Of course, if your dog is overweight, don’t overdo exercise and stress the joints until weight loss occurs. And if your dog has a pre-existing condition that puts him at risk for arthritis, such as a torn cruciate ligament, talk to your veterinarian about correcting the condition before starting an exercise program. Exercising a dog with an unstable joint from a torn cruciate ligament will only speed the development of arthritis.
Q. Do you have any tips about exercising my dog?
A. Try to make exercise a regular part of your dog's routine. Take frequent, short walks throughout the week, rather than one long hike on the weekend. Encourage swimming if your dog enjoys it. Swimming gives your dog a great workout with minimal stress on joints. Avoid exercise that involves jumping and leaping, especially for large dogs. The impact from jogging or leaping for a Frisbee is very hard on your pet’s joints. If your dog tends to overdo it, keep him on a leash. Playful activities with other pets can help your dog get exercise. Cover slippery floors with rugs to make sure your dog has firm footing. Make sure you and your dog drink plenty of water before, during and after activity. Avoid exercising during the hottest parts of the day. Early mornings, late afternoons and evenings are best. Stay off hot sidewalks and pavement. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s probably too hot for your dog's paws. Watch for signs that your dog is working too hard: rapid breathing, bright-red gums and lagging behind may indicate fatigue. If you have any questions about you or your pet’s ability to engage in certain activities, contact your physician or your veterinarian.
Is there anything else I can do to make my dog more comfortable?
Q. Is there anything else I can do to make my dog more comfortable?
A. Gentle massage can be used to increase blood flow to the arthritic areas before activity, and to decrease stiffness after activity. Ask your veterinarian to show you how to correctly massage around affected joints. Applying heat to the joint can help relieve muscle spasm and pain. Just soak a towel in warm water, and apply to the joint for 10 minutes, two to three times a day. Be careful with heat – if the heat pack is too warm, it can irritate the skin. If you notice swelling in the joint area, it is better to apply a cold pack, or ice wrapped in a towel, for 15-20 minutes, three times a day. Also be careful with cold packs. If they are too cold, or are used for too long, they can irritate the skin. It’s important to talk to your veterinarian if you see signs of joint swelling. Like people, dogs with arthritis can experience more discomfort when in a cold, damp environment. Keeping your dog in a warm, dry environment will help increase his comfort. An orthopedic bed may also help relieve some of your dog's morning stiffness. A bed with soft, thick padding will help cushion bones. A circulating warm-water heating pad under the blanket can provide added warmth. To avoid burning the skin, never place your dog directly on the heating pad.

- Decrease or increase in appetite
- Vomiting
- Change in bowel movements (such as diarrhea, or black, tarry or bloody stools)
- Change in behavior (such as decreased or increased activity level, incoordination, seizure or aggression)
- Yellowing of gums, skin, or whites of the eyes (jaundice)
- Change in drinking habits (frequency, amount consumed)
- Change in urination habits (frequency, color, or smell)
- Change in skin (redness, scabs, or scratching)
It is important to stop therapy and contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your dog has a medical problem or side effect from Rimadyl therapy. If you have additional questions about possible Rimadyl side effects, talk to your veterinarian.
Rimadyl has been safely used in over 6 million dogs in the US and 10 million dogs worldwide.
Signs of Canine Arthritis
Could Your Dog Be Suffering From Canine Arthritis?
The answer is “yes.” About 20 percent of all adult dogs in the U.S. suffer from canine arthritis. This disease develops gradually over time, causing your dog pain and often preventing him from performing even the simplest of movements (standing up, climbing stairs or walking).
If your dog is suffering from arthritis, you will most likely see one or more of the following signs:
Reluctance to walk, run, climb stairs, jump or play
Lagging behind on walks
Reluctance to extend rear legs
Sluggishness
Tiredness
Low activity
Aggressive or withdrawn behavior
Other personality or behavioral changes
Risk Factors
Canine arthritis can affect all breeds of dogs, but there are certain risk factors you should be aware of, including:
Overweight dogs
Large or giant breeds
Over the age of 5
Breed inherited traits, such as hip dysplasia
Levels of high activity for long periods of time
Joint trauma
Canine arthritis occurs in your dog’s joints. A healthy joint consists of cartilage that covers and protects the ends of the bones in a joint. The cartilage has no nerves; when it touches the cartilage of another bone, your dog feels no pain.
However, arthritis causes the cartilage to wear away. This exposes the bone, which has many nerves. So when two bones touch each other, your dog feels pain. This pain can greatly affect your dog’s quality of life.
Early Treatment
Your veterinarian will first examine your dog’s medical history, followed by a thorough physical examination. Afterwards, your veterinarian may conduct one or more diagnostic tests:
Lameness Exam
An examination that helps identify joint lameness, pain, tenderness and swelling.
Radiographs (X-rays)
Your veterinarian can use x-rays to look for changes in joint structure.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An MRI produces a picture of the joint in order to determine how far arthritis has progressed.
Arthroscopy
Your veterinarian inserts a tube-like camera called an arthroscope into the joint. This surgical procedure has become increasingly available to diagnose arthritis.
Adequan® Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is a prescription, water-based, intramuscular, polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) that helps prevent the cartilage in your dog’s joint from wearing away. It helps keep the cartilage healthy and intact, so that the bone in the joint cannot touch other bones. No other drug for arthritis can do that.
Adequan® Canine for dogs (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is administered two times a week for four weeks. The drug is injected intramuscularly to ensure it reaches the critical parts of the joint. It goes to work in the joint in about two hours and stays in the joint for about three days. With Adequan® Canine for your dog you should see signs of improvement within four weeks. Your dog may begin to act like the playful, active dog you remember.
Numerous studies show that Adequan® Canine for a dog (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) can slow the cartilage from breaking down and actually supports the repair process. And unlike nutritional supplements, Adequan® Canine is FDA-approved* so you can be assured of its effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the signs of canine arthritis?
It’s important to note that arthritis occurs before clinical signs are shown. The beginning stages of this disease are not easily recognized. If your dog is suffering from arthritis, you will most likely see one or more of the following signs: lagging behind on walks, reluctance to walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping or playing. Additional signs may include: sluggishness, tiredness, low activity, reluctance to extend rear legs, aggressive or withdrawn behavior or other personality/behavioral changes.
Q: How do I know if my dog is at risk for this disease?
Canine arthritis does not discriminate. This disease can affect all breeds of dogs, but there are certain risk factors that you should be aware of, including: overweight, high activity levels for long periods of time, breed inherited traits, such as hip dysplasia, joint trauma, large breed and over the age of five.
Q: How does Adequan® Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan or PSGAG) work?
Adequan® Canine is a prescription, water-based, intramuscular injection administered by your veterinarian. It helps keep the cartilage healthy and intact, so the bone in the joint cannot touch other bones. No other product for canine arthritis can do that.
Q: When should my dog be put on Adequan® Canine?
To truly control canine arthritis, it is important to look at the big picture. If your dog is overweight, the veterinarian will likely prescribe a weight control diet. Exercise is also essential to facilitate an adequate supply of nutrition to the joint tissues. In addition, as soon as arthritis is diagnosed, you should ask your vet if Adequan® Canine is right for your dog. As with any degenerative disease, treating it early is always best medicine.
Q: When will I see results with Adequan® Canine?
With Adequan® Canine you should see signs of improvement within four weeks. Your dog may begin to act like the playful and active dog you remember. To achieve the maximum benefits, it is important that your dog receives the entire four week (eight-injection) series.
Q: Are there any medical problems that my dog may have that would prohibit him from using Adequan® Canine?
Adequan® Canine should not be used in dogs showing hypersensitivity to PSGAG or in dogs with known or suspected bleeding disorders. It should be used with caution in dogs with renal or hepatic impairment. Safety studies in breeding, lactating, or pregnant dogs have not been conducted.
Q: Is Adequan® Canine compatible with other medications that my dog may be taking?
You should always consult your veterinarian before combining Adequan® Canine with other prescriptions or over the counter medications/supplements.
Q: How can I obtain Adequan® Canine?
Adequan® Canine is a prescription product that can be dispensed and administered only by licensed veterinarians.
Not all equine treatments are created equal
Many treatments are sold to relieve the symptoms of degenerative joint disease. However, not all products are supported by solid scientific research or manufactured under approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Those include injectable chondroitin sulfate, pharmacy-compounded injectable glucosamine, and oral products claiming to be sulfated glycosaminoglycans. Studies of non-FDA approved products and oral nutritional supplements have shown significantly less effectiveness than products with FDA approval. Generic products also require FDA approval since generic drugs are chemical copies of approved drugs that no longer have patent protection. No approved generic forms of Adequan® i.m. for horses (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) are currently available.
Ask your veterinarian for FDA-approved Adequan® i.m. for equines (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan)
If your horse exhibits heat, pain or swelling, stiffness or decreased performance, you should immediately consult your equine veterinarian.
Early recognition and treatment can limit the damage and restore the normal “wear and repair” balance in the joints before permanent cartilage or bone damage occurs. Non-infectious arthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is estimated to cause one-third of all lameness cases. Adequan® i.m. for horses (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is the only disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug on the market approved by the FDA for the treatment of equine arthritis. It is the only joint therapy clinically proven to relieve symptoms and treat the underlying causes of equine degenerative joint disease.
After six weeks of comparison to intravenous Legend® (intravenous sodium hyaluronate), Adequan® i.m. for equines demonstrated, on average, a more rapid and significantly better recovery:
• Decreased lameness score
• Increased stride length
• Lowered joint flexing pain score
Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
Medical products approved by FDA for Horse Joint Treatment
Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan is a naturally-occurring complex molecule that is the essential building block of the cartilage matrix. Marketed as Adequan® i.m. for horses (Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan ), this product travels into injured joints and stimulates production of new cartilage while relieving the symptoms of non-infectious degenerative joint disease. Adequan® i.m. for equines is the ideal, complete treatment for non-infectious degenerative joint disease. Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) act rapidly and are easily administered for the short term relief of pain and inflammation. Potential side effects are: blood disorders, gastro-intestinal ulcers or renal damage.
Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that minimize pain and decrease the inflammation of soft tissue rapidly. They can be valuable when used judiciously. Corticosteroids interrupt not only the inflammatory process, but the repair process as well.
Sodium hyaluronate, often called HA, helps restore the function of the hyaluronic acid within the joint to improve the lubrication, stimulate natural production of HA and generally improve the synovial fluid.
Ideal treatment for Horse Joint treatment
Proven to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis, Adequan® i.m. for horses (POLYSULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN) breaks the destructive disease cycle, inhibits cartilage damage and stimulates the cartilage repair process. Extensive studies of Adequan® i.m. for equines have proven it readily passes through the synovial membrane and is taken up into cartilage by diffusion. This results in the concentration and progressive accumulation of Adequan® i.m. at the site of injury. Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
Balanced, Healthy joints in Horses
A healthy equine joint is a complex system of internal and external tissues that provide stability and protect the joint while allowing for freedom of movement. During routine activity, a functioning balanced joint is in a constant state of “wear and repair.” As normal forces are exerted on the joint, cells are very actively regenerating and repairing the components of damaged cartilage while replacing the synovial fluid in the joint. This constant renewal, repair and replacement cycle assures that no cartilage loss occurs and a functionally balanced, healthy joint environment is maintained.
Diseased Joints in Horses
When the wear and tear of daily use, a misstep, incorrect shoeing or abnormal forces cause trauma, the natural cycle of “wear and repair” within the joint is disrupted. The joint then is susceptible to equine non-infectious degenerative joint disease, often called osteoarthritis. Equine non-infectious degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hocks and coffin joints with the most severe effects on the high-motion knee and fetlock joints.
Zubrin is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.

UlcerGard is easy to use, well accepted, and it's the only non-prescription, FDA-approved equine ulcer preventive. Each syringe contains the same amount of Omeprazole as GastroGard, but the directions for ulcer prevention is different – 1/4 tube/dose. Stomach ulcers can be painful, yet some horses show very few symptoms. Others will lose weight, have recurrent colic, intermittent loose stools, poor hair coat, poor body condition, changes in disposition and/or general poor performance. Once daily administration of ULCERGARD is recommended in horses exposed to stressful conditions or activities that may induce stomach ulcers in horses. Such conditions may include training, racing, showing, traveling, stall confinement, and competition. Gastric ulcers can develop in recreational horses within just five days.

The hassles of finding the best product at the best time can be very frustrating, especially when you do not have the time to read the back of each product or cannot find the one your vet recommends. Today, all the hassles have been diminished with the use of the internet and the ability to find many products online.

Heartworm disease
Heartworm is a parasitic disease that can affect any dog regardless of age, sex or habitat. It is found in virtually all parts of the United States and many parts of Canada. Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, and tends to have a higher incidence in areas heavily populated by mosquitoes. Dogs are considered the most common host for heartworms, however heartworms may also infect more than thirty species of animals (including coyotes, foxes, wolves, domestic cats, ferrets) and even humans, though transmission from animal to human (zoonotic infection) is extremely rare.
Ticks and fleas
Ticks are small spider-like acarids and fleas are insects, but these two tiny creatures have at least one thing in common—they are both parasites that feed on your cat’s blood and can cause a lot of discomfort and more serious health problems.
Flea bites may go unnoticed on some pets, cause slight irritation in others and produce extensive itching, red lesions, hair loss and even ulcers in those animals with flea allergy dermatitis, which is the result of extreme sensitivity to flea saliva. Severe flea infestations can cause anemia, especially in kittens. Fleas can also transmit several diseases, as well as tapeworm. Ticks are “vectors” or carriers of a number of diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever which can sometimes be transmitted to humans.
Good communication builds good relationships
Just as between people, good relationships between dogs and their owners are based on good communication. Dogs communicate between themselves by means of body signals. It’s only natural, then, that they’ll use the same method to communicate with people. Your responsibility as a pet owner is to learn to interpret such signals. Doing so will enable you to teach your puppy or dog the appropriate way of telling you what he or she needs or would like, whether it’s food, to be let out, to play or› to receive some loving attention from you!
Like people, dogs can suffer from allergies.
As in the human population, the incidence of allergies in pets seems to be increasing. While allergic humans may often sneeze, wheeze or even have serious respiratory difficulties, allergic reactions in pets are mostly characterized by skin problems, exacerbated by their primary symptom—itching and scratching. Dog allergies fall into three main categories: flea allergic dermatitis, atopy, and food allergy. Many pets can be affected by one or more allergy.

If you’ve read anything at all about Content Management Systems (CMS), you’ll probably know at least three things: CMS are the most exciting way to do business, CMS can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly Portals are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.
Joomla! is set to change all that … Joomla! is different from the normal models for portal software. For a start, it’s not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for the masses. It’s licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable. Joomla! doesn’t even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it’s up and running.
