Default Rimadyl - Effective Cure But Deadly For Labradors
The best-selling drug known as Rimadyl, which has enjoyed remarkable success as an anti-inflammatory medicine for pets, has been found to be deadly for some dogs like Labradors, as witnessed by the FDA receiving more than 6,000 bad reaction reports about the drug manufactured by Pfizer.

If you have a Labrador, DO NOT give them Rimadyl. Labradors have a tendency for liver and kidney failure on Rimadyl. Some dogs may tolerate it, but a few will not.

Consult your Vet for alternatives like Tramadol.
