Rimadyl 100mg

A friend just took a chewable 100mg rimadyl for c as nine use! Should I be worried?Or will she be OK?chewableI am visiting her from out of state and have to return home today! ## Is your friend prescribed these tablets by her doctor? Just wondering because when I look it up it says it's a veterinary medicine for joint pain. Also, what do you mean by "rimadyl for c as nine use!"? I'm assuming that may be a typo since the words don't seem to go together... but if you could please provide some clarification on this, that would be great! I see you posted this thread back on Nov 11, 2015 - Have you had a chance to talk with your friend since the incident to find out if she's alright? Thanks for any feedback you might have!

My chiweenie was taking 1/2 Deramaxx 25mg once daily until the backorder began. I have 100mg tablets Rimadyl, would it be safe to quarter these and give her a quarter once daily? Thanks! ## Hi Migisi, If you feel that the vet prescribed a heavy dosage, then yes, I'd suggest cutting the pill into fractions when necessary, if not but to see how your dog responds to it. Even if there's not score/break lines on the pill I'd give it a try. The only time I don't recommend doing that is if the drug itself is an extended release version, because I'm not sure how that may affect it's chemistry. I hope this helps! ## Thanks David!

Our dog was just fixed. My daughter picked her up. The pill is square and brown. R is on one side and 100 mg is on the other. There's nothing written on the bottle but his name and to take 1 and 1/2 a day. ## Hello Rich, The pill you are describing is a 100mg Rimadyl chewable tablet. This medication is an anti-inflammitory pain medication used primarily for dogs with arthritis and post surgery. Here is some information that I sourced from the National Institute of Health. NDC: 54771-1506 Active Ingredients: Carprofen Color: Brown Shape: Square Imprint: 100mg;R Size: 19mm Flavor: Liver I hope this information helps. Have a wonderful day. ## Thank You, yes it did...I appreciate the reply!????
