Answer by  sarahdf (190)

Deramaxx is used to treat chronic osteoarthritis, which there is no known cure for. Some alternatives for the treatment of this condition would be tramadol, painkillers and cortisone shots. If you'd like to stay away from medications you can try physical therapy, braces and chronic pain classes. Surgeries such as Viscosupplementation or a joint replacement can help as well.

Deramaxx is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for dogs, usually prescribed for post-operative pain. Any other NSAID should be equivalent and work perfectly fine. Some options include Rimadyl or Metacam, assuming your veterinarian approves and will write a new prescription. Aspirin may also work, though it is not an NSAID and carries different risks.
