((Babs)) I am just so sorry to hear about your sweet companions. From what I read it is commonly used in dogs for arthritis type conditions and is a non-steroid. The only thing I read to the contrary about it is that is shouldn't be used animals with heart, kidney or liver disease.

Maybe if they had problems from the food the medicine could have pushed him over the top. It's hard to tell. Was the food you were feeding them once a week on the recall list, or, does that food have wheat gluten in it?

I'm not buying ANY pet food with wheat gluten in it. I bought a new bag of cat food yesterday and had a tough time finding any without wheat gluten but there are a few.

Check on the food you fed them, see if they had wheat gluten in them and go from there.

My deepest sympathies on your loss.
