Gastric ulcers, kidney toxicity, coagulopathy
List three dangerous side effects that can occur in animals taking antiinflammatories that inhibit the Cox 1 pathway.
Glucocorticoids
Act on DNA and alter transcription of mRNA for certain proteins
Washout period

Phases of wound healing
Inflammation: 0-8hrs after injury
Debridement: 6hrs-5d after injury
Repair: 3-5d after injury depending on size of wound
Maturation: 17-20d after injury; continues up to 2 years
IDRM
"It Doesn't Really Matter"
Why do we want to suppress part of of the healing process?
Excessive/misdirected inflammatory response may cause pain, slow healing & cause tissue damage
May lead to organ failure & death
NSAIDs: how can it harm?
GI ulceration
Give with food!
NSAIDs How can it harm?
Renal toxicity (is always at risk)
NSAIDs: mechanism of action?
Inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes involved in prostaglandin synthesis
NSAIDs: How can I promote safe and effective use?
Should not be given with glucocorticoids. It block formation of inflammatory mediator
NSAIDs: How can it hurt
NSAIDs Metabolize in the liver so caution with patients that has hepatic disease or preexisting
True or False? Cats metabolize NSAIDs slowly because the lack glucuronyl tranferase
True
Carprofen
Rx - Rimadyl
SIRS
Systemic Inflammatory response syndrome
MODS
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome
Anti-inflammatories
Drugs used to reduce or suppress inflammatory reactions in the body
They exert their effect on cells & tissues of the patient, not on an infectious agent
Methylprednisolone acetate in horses is used as
intraarticular injection for joint inflammation
Methyprednisolone acetate
long acting but therapeutic benefits may wane before physiologic effects subside
Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate
used for critical cases requiring rapid treatment- head trauma, spinal trauma, anaphylaxis
