Hi!

Sorry for all the dogs that died too soon...and sorry for Rowdy being so young as well! Just last Saturday my beloved dog Nikko died from kidney failure due to Previcox. He was a Miniature Schnauzer.

I had a senior check on him at age ten. The vet checked his blood and everything. He was OK. Less than 1 month later, he was dead!

Nikko had a back problem due to a dogfight when he was young. So, the veterinarian gave him Previcox for 21 days. After only 3 days he started vomiting and I stopped giving him the drug after 6 days. But it was already too late. He died five days later.

It hit me so hard and I was totally chocked! He has his puppies at home right now, they were only 4 weeks old when their father died. I will contact Merial today for sure and my veterinarian too.

All the best and all my love to all dog lovers out there!
