Rimadyl vs Novox

Hi all,

My Opal is 10 years old & she has quite a bit of arthritis in her shoulders.  I've just started her on Rimadyl (50mg twice a day).  Has anyone tried Novox which is the generic form of Rimadyl?  It's less expensive and I want to know if it works just as well. 

Opal can't have gluocosomine because she's allergic to fish. 

 

Thanks!

Funny I was just talking about Novox

with a good bully friend last night.  She says it is a miracle drug!  Never tried it myself but she said it has worked wonders on her dogs.  I know the Rimadyl is bad for the liver not sure if the Novox is better as far as that goes - but she swears by it!  She has five dogs (one bully) and has used it on more then one.  Good luck hope Opal feels better.

I would try Adequan

I have found that it works great for arthritis.

Rimadyl vs. Novox

I have been using Novox on my dogs for over a year.  It is great & much cheaper than Rimadyl - has same ingredients as Rimadyl.
