http://www.CactusCanyon.com Rimadyl is a drug that vets often prescribe for dogs with arthritis. Rimadyl acts as an anti-inflammatory to ease the dog's pain from arthritis. There is no cure for arthritis, so Rimadyl does not stop the progression of arthritis. It can however offer a dog with arthritis some relief. The dog owners must understand there are dangers associated with using Rimadyl for treating dog arthritis. Rimadyl dangers include kidney failure, and several other conditions that can be fatal to the dogs. By far, most dogs do not suffer from these dangerous side effects. However, there are many instances that Rimadyl has made dogs ill and even caused death. It's important for dog owners who have dogs with arthritis to consult with their vets about these side effects of Rimadyl and what they should watch for before giving their dogs with arthritis Rimadyl.
