A veterinarian should check on dogs that are on NSAIDs on a regular basis. Adverse responses are usually addressed after indicators have been identified and treated. If you feel your pet has developed a medicine sensitivity, you should stop using it immediately and visit your veterinarian. Severe adverse effects might strike at any time and, in rare cases, result in death. Potential adverse reactions include: Inappetence Diarrhea Dark or tarry stools Increased water consumption Increased urination Anemia (and related gum paleness) Jaundice (and related yellow gums, skin, or eyes) Lethargy Incoordination Seizures Changes in behavior

Keep away from animals and children. This product is only to be used on dogs. If your dog has a known hypersensitivity to carprofen, don't use this medication. Never administer to a pregnant animal, nursing animal, or cat. NSAIDs that inhibit cyclooxygenase have been linked to renal, gastrointestinal, rand liver damage. This might be due to a cyclooxygenase enzyme inhibitor and reduced synthesis of the prostaglandin responsible for prostaglandin generation from AA (arachidonic acid). Prostaglandins that cause inflammation are inhibited by NSAIDs. It may also interfere with the production of prostaglandins, which are necessary for good homeostatic function. Patients with a pre-existing or underlying condition may experience more severe side effects. NSAID treatment may disclose a hidden sickness that was previously undetected and had no clinical symptoms. NSAIDs, for example, may aggravate underlying renal illness. Parenteral fluids may be explored for surgical operations to lower the risk of renal problems when delivering NSAIDs preoperatively. This medicine is an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug). This drug has the potential to induce negative effects. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature. Hepatic, dermatologic, neurologic, hematologic, and renal symptoms have also been observed. Patients on concurrent diuretics or those with dehydration, hepatic impairment, renal dysfunction, or cardiovascular failure are at the highest risk of renal damage. Be cautious and keep an eye on animals getting potentially nephrotoxic medications at the same time. Carprofen should not be taken with any other anti-inflammatory medication, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids. This can result in stomach ulcers or perforations, among other things. From one patient to the next, sensitivities and responses will differ. Dogs that have had a bad reaction to one NSAID may have the same reaction to another. Animals can take up to 10 times the prescribed dose without experiencing renal damage or gastrointestinal ulcers, according to well-controlled safety trials in healthy dogs. Carprieve should not be given to dogs that have Von Willebrand's disease or any other type of bleeding condition. It is unknown whether or not it is safe to use in dogs with such diseases. Not proven safe for use in lactating, breeding, or pregnant dogs or in animals younger than 6 weeks old. Carprieve has not been studied in combination with other medications that are protein-bound or metabolized in the same way. In patients who require further therapy, medication compatibility, including widely used cardiac, anticonvulsant, and behavioral therapies, should be thoroughly checked. Treatment with carprofen may lower the amount of inhaled anesthetics necessary. If extra pain medicine is needed after a total daily Carprieve dosage, other analgesics should be investigated. Other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not advised. Washout times should be addressed when transitioning from one NSAID to another or from NSAID to corticosteroid therapy.

If overdose occurs, please contact your local pet hospital or emergency pet clinic immediately.
