Dogs receiving cyclooxygenase-2–sparing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or nonphysiologic steroids are at risk of severe gastrointestinal ulceration
Dogs receiving COX-2 sparing NSAIDs at recommended doses are at risk of severe GI ulceration. Carprofen was the most common NSAID resulting in ulceration; however, it is one of the most prescribed NSAIDs. Adding another NSAID and steroid could increase this risk. Careful monitoring is crucial for dogs on NSAIDs, regardless of duration.
