Please don't go. Took my dog diesel there for his back. He was Having a hard time walking . They got X-ray only . Said it was spinal arthritis and prescribed rimadyl and neurontin and to take med when he got home with food so it don't upset stomach . 2 hours after giving the meds he started coughing and called the er back and they said it's prob just the pain pill and I asked could he be having a reaction and they said they wouldn't think it . By 5 that morning he's almost totally paralyzed and coughing up excessive drool and labored breathing . I take him to Ashland clinic when they opened even though he's not a regular patient of theirs to be seen since the er only could say we close at 730am no matter what and have to have my diesel put to sleep ahead of his time . He was only 7 years old and prior to this week full of life.I was never told of the critical potential side effects rimidyl can have Including poisoning , partial and full paralysis, death and how it's critical not to be given if any renal or liver failure which bloodwork never was got . I now know why my vet recommends to drives to Charleston for emergencies rather than here now . read more
