  1. My dog has only 3 legs - we adopted him after it happened - and has had arthritis for about 4 years. To the best of our knowledge he is about 8-1/2 now. He became anorexic while taking Derramax, so his vet changed him to Metacam. The first week went fine, but by then suddenly at the end of week 2 he could barely stand up or walk. It literally happened overnight. Although his vet said it was not the medicine, I discontinued it anyway. We then went to a veterinary neurologist, who took x-rays, and said he had disc problems. To start on different medications for that, it is necessary to be off NSAIDS (i.e.: Metacam) for several days. It is now day 3 without the drug and he can walk at least a couple hundred feet. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks!
