Yes its the same stuff. Biggest thing to look for is tarry black poos. Thats when they are bleeding internally.

Breed for a useful dog and you often get a beautiful, useful dog... breed only for a beautiful dog and you are on your own in the useful department.

Talk about confusing, Rimadyl is carprofen, when you look up carprieve it says formely Norocarp, when you look up Norocarp it says carprofen
so yes (eventually) they are all the same. On the Noracarp leaflet it says dont use in dogs with liver,kidney or cardiac problems.

My Dachshund was given Rimadyl some years ago due to his arthritis and he ended up with huge problems with his Kidneys - vet took him off immediately but took a while for the kidneys to improve.

Jasper now on Previcox and has been for the last few years - touch wood no problems with them at all but I wouldn't touch Rimadyl with a barge pole!

Just as another point, I get my vet to do a prescription for the Previcox, it costs me £7.00 per prescription and he normally allows me to order 3 months worth. From the vet Previcox costs me £33 per month, off of a website called Petdrugsonline, the same tablets cost me £14 per month! All the vet asks is that he sees him every 3 months.

Thanks for all you help realy appreciated


His poo looks fine just a bit harder than normal but that may be because he is not allowed any excersise.

Definately confusing think I will just have to ask for the instructions with everything in future.

He was on Previcox but the vet was hopeing it was'nt doing its job anymore so trying this stuff, but no change so.................
