What the FDA wants your vet to tell you
I'm not the world's biggest fan of the FDA, and this year's massive pet food recall didn't do anything to change that -- other than to make it worse. But their veterinary drug arm has come out with an informational pamphlet on the veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Rimadyl, Deramaxx, Etogesic, Metacam, Previcox, Zubrin, and Novox (carprofen), and it's good. Really good.
The question is, will your vet give it to you? I'd be more optimistic about that if I knew of more than a small handful of vets who even give out the client information sheet that the FDA requires be handed out to pet owners when they're prescribed these drugs for their dogs. In other words, there's a law telling your vet he or she has to give that piece of paper to you. But how many of you, when given a bottle of Rimadyl or other, similar drugs, were given that sheet? Or had your veterinarian cover the information in this new pamphlet?
I blogged about this at Pet Connection. Check it out, look at the pamphlet, print it out in case you ever need it.
And let me know if you ever see it in your vet's office.
