Is shark cartilage safe for my dog on Novox, Robaxin, and cortisone?

Question

Can I give shark cartilage to my dog while he is on Novox and Robaxin? He had corticosteroid injection today.

Yes, you can give shark cartilage, but you should not give Novox if he received a cortisone injection The Novox should be discontinued in order to prevent stomach ulcers and other side effects and the amount of time it needs to be discontinued will depend on the type of cortisone that was given. I would recommend that you speak to your veterinarian about this and they can tell you the type of cortisone and how long it lasts and the amount of time the Novox should be stopped. The shark cartilage can be given with all of these drugs safely. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
