It is a newer type of NSAID that blocks one specific prostaglandin receptor (EP4) tied to arthritis pain, instead of shutting down prostaglandins broadly. [1]
Side effects and cautions
Common side effects: Vomiting, diarrhea, low appetite, blood or mucus in stool, and lower blood protein levels. [1]
Use with care: Not for dogs under 9 months old or under 8 pounds, or dogs that are breeding, pregnant or nursing. Don't combine with other NSAIDs or steroids. [1] [2]
Call your vet right away if your pet has trouble breathing, facial swelling, hives, collapse, or any side effect that is severe or getting worse.
