Is it safe to give my dog Carprofen and Rimadyl at the same time?

Question

I rescued a dog that came with Carprofen(2×per day) and Rimadyl(3x per day). Can I give them to her together and which one is better before bed ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 20 lbs

Carprofen and Rimadyl are the SAME medication, she should not be taking both as she will overdose. Rimadyl should be given once or twice a day, not 3 times a day. i strongly recommend taking her to a vet ASAP in order to get her on the proper dosage before you make he serious health damage.
