Bladder problems?

I am so sorry, Joan. I had no idea until this morning.

Do you know if there's a local support group where you can get more information and support? The internet is filled with information but having someone close by and knowledgeable may help you find comfort.

Sending HUGS

Some dogs have stomach problems with piroxicam, most vets give something for them to take with it. My vet put Louie on Deramaxx instead of the piroxicam, he did well on it, we had him for a few days short of six months after diagnosis. I know of another Sheltie that had it besides Louie and they both were pain free until near the end. It was hard to believe there was something so terrible wrong most of the time. Give Bobby lots of hugs and if you want to talk to someone who has been through this feel free to get in touch with me. You are in my prayers.

I am sorry to say any and all NSAIDs have the potential for side effects. I, myself, have had terrible luck with Deramaxx in my patients. The key is to work with your vet , do blood work and follow ups and report an concerns to your vet.

I unfortunately have known several shelties with TCC. It is truely the silent killer. Hugs again Joan, please PM if you need anything.
