   If your vaunted research was worth diddly, you'd know that I'm in fact   
   quite aware of the potential side effects of Rimadyl. Probably much more   
   so than you are. One of my dog's brothers died after being prescribed   
   Rimadyl. I didn't mention it for three reasons. First off, reactions to   
   Rimadyl are very rare. Secondly I'd seen that you'd already mentioned it   
   in another post. Finally, I imagine if the original poster was concerned   
   enough to be doing research, they probably have already googled the side   
   effects of Rimadyl.   
   Rimadyl can give many dogs a new lease on life. Its a powerful, and very   
   effective drug, but like all drugs, its not without side effects.
