My dog is on Piroxicam. Could her diarrhea be a side effect?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My 11 year old female dachshund was diagnosed with TCC of bladder in July. We have been treating her with Piroxicam since. She now has daily diarrhea. In your experience, could the diarrhea be a side affect of the Piroxicam?

Anything is possible but I do not think the diarrhea is related to the Piroxicam. If you are worried I suggest you contact your vet since they are most familiar with her case and medical history. Here is a link to an article about Piroxicam use in animals. ( https://www.petplace.com/article/drug-library/drug-library/library/piroxicam-feldene-for-dogs-and-cats/ )
