CARPROFEN USE IN LACTATING DOGS
Principal Investigator
Description
This study is looking at determining the safety of carprofen, brand name Rimadyl, in dogs who are nursing and if there are measurable amounts found in the bloodstream of their nursing puppies. This study is the first to look at both the dams and nursing puppies, and will help guide us in future pain management recommendations.
Testing Requirements

Blood collection from both dam and puppies multiple times throughout the period of three days (the majority of these samples will be collected in the home to reduce stress)
