Deramaxx is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage pain and inflammation. When consumed in excessive amounts, it can cause serious side effects including gastrointestinal ulcers, kidney failure, or even seizures. Immediate veterinary care is critical to assess your dog’s condition, possibly induce vomiting or administer activated charcoal, and to start necessary treatments to manage any effects.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
