Overview

This study compared the effectiveness of acetaminophen-codeine (AC) and carprofen in attenuating lameness induced by sodium urate (SU) injection in dogs. Carprofen was found to be more effective than AC in reducing lameness scores and improving ground reaction forces. These findings suggest that carprofen may be a better choice for managing pain and inflammation in dogs with experimentally induced lameness.
