This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 16 August 2021 and 14 December 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Ecaldwell97. Peer reviewers: Chaz Hodge.
This page was cited in 2009 for containing unsourced information making drastic claims. These appear to still be present. Two bullet point side-effect lists largely duplicate each other. Only the second has references, one of them a dead link. The other reference is to a website whose author, though prolific, goes unnamed. The FDA link that supposedly lists Carprofen's dangers is dead, too, as are others.
The hyperlink about Carprofen's human use also details toxicological studies in animals. "In dogs dose levels of 2 and 7 mg carprofen/kg" daily for 1 year "were well tolerated with no gross autopsy or histological changes." [1]
Wikipedia is not a resource for speculative claims by those with anecdotal experience. Pet owners upset at their dog's suffering need good information, yet some among them latch onto unverified beliefs, and even spread them. Having a sick animal does not make one qualified to assess a medicine.
thanks for these notes. will review the article. where was the article cited in 2009? i'd be interested to see that. thanks Jytdog (talk) 11:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
