We brought our dog Raven into the Vet a week ago with a torn ligiment. She had been playing in the back yard with my Boy and she twisted her leg.


The Vet recommended a Vet Surgeon to fix her leg by adding a stainless steel plate on here Femer to compensate for the torn Crucies Ligimant.  The surgery went well and my dog appeared to be recovering quickly over the next couple days.


On the third day shen was lathargic and violented vomiting and shaking with what appeared to be shock syndroms.  She was extra tursty and drank lots of water.  She appeared to be dehydrating.  I canlled the Vet and they asked me to give her more water and watch her.  She looked a bit better after an hour so we thought that it was just upset stomach from the pain medication.  The next day she turned worse after getting her morning medication which included Deramaxx for othopedic inflamation.  She was vomiting and swollen stomack and violently shakining with no ability to stand.

My wife , my Son and I picked Raven up and carried her into the car and drove to the vet .The Vet took an X Ray and withdrew a large syridge of fluid from her intestional cavity.  He did an analysis and told us that we would have to put the dog asleep as she had burst open internal organs and was septic with bacteriac flowing thru her entire body.

Raven was a three year old very healthy and smart half Black Lab and half Rottwieler.  She had never been sick a day in her life.

The Vet did an autopsy on her and found that the Deramaxx drug had burned a hole into her at the duardianal where it enters the stomach.  He told us that another dog had died of the same symtoms but that it was a very old and frail dog not youg and healthy like RAVEN. 
My vet has contacted the Deramaxx Company ,[[url]http://www.deramaxx.com/home/default.asp?page=0_0[/url]


and sent his autopsy findings to independat Vets for confirmation

Please do NOT Let anyone give Deramaxx to your Dog!
