My dog became aggressive on Cosequin for joints. Is this normal?

Question

My vet recommended Cosiquin for my dogs joints, however after giving the recommended dose for a few days she gets aggressive with the other dogs. Is this normal? I've stopped it she seems better. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 11 years and 1 month old | 47 lbs

That is not normal. Changes in pain can sometimes lead to aggressive behavior, however, this medication should help reduce pain, instead of increase it. I would speak with your regular veterinarian to try an alternative to the cosequin, such as a different joint supplement, or one that uses other ingredients like MSM or fish oil rather than glucosamine and chondroitin.
