PLEASE CROSSPOST. Thanks!

Hi guys,

As several of you know I am a nurse at the Veterinary Emergency Hospital. I wanted to let you know about a problem we have been seeing. There is a newer drug out (maybe a year or so) called Duramax. It is usually prescribed for pain like limping, arthritis, ect. similarly to Rimadyl or Ascripton. We have now seen about 10 cases of dogs that have come in and been on this drug and have developed abdominal ulcer perferations and internal bleeding. We have been able if caught early enough and with surgical intervention to save some of these dogs, however we have also lost many otherwise healthy and young patients. I do not have everyone's e-mail address in the club so if you get this message please pass it on. I would hate so see any of our beautiful rotties as patients at my hospital. The company is being notified and if anything changes I will let you

know.

Thank you,

Kristin Moore
