Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Brino has kidney disease, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. like Loxiom should be avoided. Even half a dose of Loxiom can have detrimental effect on kidneys if used chronically. So, the answer is absolutely yes, Brino should be weaned off Loxiom and paracetamol or other pain killers (tramadol, gabapentin, amantadine etc) should be used instead.
