Hello, My name is Angela and I just read your story about Rowdy. I am feeling for your loss. On March 28, little did we know this BAD MEDICATION PREVICOX started to play a bad joke on my 16 year old, 5lb Pomeranian.

The vet prescribed it for pain for an ulcerated eye. Gave the 1st dose, 1/4 of a 57 mg pill  Fri night. Sat night he got a 2nd dose. The dog seemed to be responding well, he seemed to be more alert, not sleeping near as much as he had been. Then he got a 3rd dose Sun Mar.30th.

Monday morning my dog was in complete respiratory distress with watery gurgling sounds in his lungs, and vomiting up watery bubbles and very weak. Took him to the vet who give him a shot to help dry the liquid in his lungs. I brought him home, he was not eating so he didn't get the Previcox on Mon.

Tues he wouldn't eat all day till late, that evening he seemed to be perking up a little and drinking still having breathing problems, at 12:30 am.

Wed morning he and I were up and he was willing to eat so I slipped another 1/4 pill into his food. Well, three and a half hours later my dog goes into a worsened breathing condition. I gave him a nebulizer breathing treatment.

Its Fri morning and I've decided that this medication might just be the problem for my dog who has never had any breathing problems. I will not give him any more of this stuff. I don't know if he will pull out of this reaction or not, time will tell. Thank you for your story of Rowdy, it helped confirm my suspicion of this really bad drug.
