I'm very sorry about your loss. I can't imagine what it's like. I hope you can find someone who needs the help.
We tried Piroxicam first and it didn't work with our dog. She had a very bad reaction (bloody stools & throw up). It was compounded at the pharmacy and I keep wondering if it was the incorrect dosage or form? The vet double-checked and he said it was the right dosage. Do you think I should look for the chewable version? She's on Deramaxx now but we haven't seen a change in her symptoms. I keep thinking that we should try Piroxicam again, but a different form/dosage?
