About Piroxicam
Piroxicam was initially created for humans as a pain reliever. But with the proper dosage by your vet, it can also be administered to cats and dogs with some cancers and as a pain reliever for arthritis. Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), so it reduces both pain and inflammation. This drug is typically recommended for dogs experiencing neoplasia, a condition in which abnormal masses of tissue develop into tumors within the body. Consult your veterinarian if this is the right drug for you pet’s symptoms.
Key Benefits of Piroxicam
  • Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of inflammation
  • Typically prescribed to pets with joint disease, fevers, and minor aches
  • Effective in the treatment of cancer, especially bladder cancers.
Who's Piroxicam For?

How Does Piroxicam Work?
Piroxicam is generally prescribed with other medications, depending on the condition being treated. Piroxicam is a cyclo-oxygenase (COX) inhibitor. COX aids in the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain, swelling, and inflammation during injury or disease. By blocking the production of prostaglandins, Piroxicam reduces inflammation and pain.
Side Effects and Warnings
When administering Piroxicam, contact your veterinarian if your pet shows signs of depression, an increase in drinking, jaundice, dizziness, seizures, behavior changes, lethargy, swelling, shedding, itching, constipation, or hot spots. In some cases, Piroxicam can cause stomach ulceration. Signs of this include loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloody or black stools.

Do not use Piroxicam in pets with kidney or liver disease, bleeding disorders, gastric ulcers, or high blood pressure. Use with caution in cats and pets with severe heart disease.

Negative interactions can occur with ACE-inhibitors such as enalapril, benazepril, and quinapril. Piroxicam may interact with other drugs like phenylbutazone, heparin, aspirin, corticosteroids, methotrexate, flunixin, diazepam, propranolol, and warfarin.

Rated 5 out of 5 Almost Put Cat to Sleep I found a sick kitten and her whole nasal cavity was just a big hole. She was so congested she could scarcely breathe, antibiotics did no good, and I spent a fortune on vet bills. Another vet did some research and tried Piroxicam. I carefully mix it with almond oil to my vet's specifications with a mortar and pestle and it costs like 8 cents per month. This kitten (now a cat) has totally forgotten she was ever sick. She is and probably will always be Itta Bitty Tiny Kitty as she is named, but she is alive and happy. (This is a prescription drug and requires a prescription.) May 30, 2008

Rated 4 out of 5 Can't Live with out it My dog byron who is 6 years old has nasal cancer. Our vet gave him a 3 month life expectancy. They put him on this medication and ever since then he has been doing great. He is now on month 5 and is larger then life, he hasnt changed a bit. He is just as happy as he was if he was still a puppy.*This is a prescription item September 22, 2005
