Is it safe to give my dog Rimadyl for pain after acepromazine?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 55 lbs

My dog took acepromazine (for the last time as it makes him anxious) before the vet today. He re-chipped a nail he cracked five days ago. I didn't ask the vet if he could take rimadyl for pain on top of the acepromazine, and his foot is now hurting. He is 55 lb pit mix 2.5 years old

There are no contraindications for giving Rimadly when a dog has had acepromazine, so it's fine to to give Denzel Washington. As long as the vet prescribed the Rimadyl for him to take for his chipped nail, you can give it to him :-)
