Changing NSAIDs

Nova's vet initially put her on Etodolac, which is a NSAID - essentially aspirin for dogs. Unfortunately she's had some hiccups along the way and stopped eating at one point, plus had really loose stool... yuk!

Good news is, she's now on another NSAID called Metacam, and it seems to be helping with the limp. We haven't seen too much of a limp lately, but we're definitely going to wait for the vet to give her the thumbs up before we let her get too much physical activity.
