been established.

Dog owners should be advised to watch for signs of
drug toxicity or reactions.
NSAIDs may cause renal, hepatic, and gastrointestinal
toxicity. They may induce gastrointestinal ulcerations or perforations.
Concomitant use of diuretics, dehydration, renal
or hepatic dysfunction, and cardiovascular impairments increase the
risk of adverse reactions to NSAID therapy.
If your dog experiences loss of appetite, vomiting,
anemia, jaundice, lethargy, increased thirst, increased urination, loss
of coordination, seizures, stool abnormalities, or behavioral changes,
discontinue administration and consult your veterinarian. In rare instances,
serious adverse reactions, including death, may occur.
