"Sambo"

Hello,

My 1 year old German Shepherd and I have just returned from the vet. He has had a sore foot or leg this past week so I took him in to have it looked at. They sent him home with 7 Previcox pills to be taken 1 per day for 7 days.

I decided, just out of curiosity, to look up the medication on the Internet because I had never heard of it and wanted to see what I could learn about it. The very first article I read was yours and I thank God for that. I will NOT give it to him, thanks to you and your article. It may not have killed him like it did your poor Rowdy, but I can't see any reasoning in taking a chance when aspirin will do the job just as well and a helluva lot safer.

I cried when I read your story. It's always SOO hard to lose of your dogs, but in such a manner as this, it had to have been absolutely devastating.

My heart goes out to you, along with many thanks for informing me and possibly saving my dog's life.

Gratefully yours,
Phyllis S. and Sambo
