Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	Is this really new, or did I totally miss the ball when this came out? https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=e69ea400-a913-4d4f-861e-b9133fd65e46&gas=eqioxx Of course, still more expensive than Previcoxx tablets. Anyone try it yet, compared to Previcoxx? It's always been the same medication so I would expect it to work the same.

It's always been the same medication so I would expect it to work the same. its previcox exactly the same thing.....buy previcox from your vet MUCH cheaper....they made a big deal awhile ago about prescribing dog meds for horses but that mess has died down now. Just get the previcox dog pills much easier on the pocket and most vets don't care anymore at alll Edited by tnmagnolia 2016-11-17 10:50 AM

Scorpions R Us Posts: 9586 Location: So. Cali.	I did quick math once in comparison of the Previcox 227mg pills vs the 57mg Equioxx pills. You got approx. 60 more days out of the Previcox and for $50 less. ETA: And yes, it's really new, didnt miss anything :)) Edited by ThreeCChamps 2016-11-17 10:51 AM

So the only " Legal" way to force vets into prescribing the more expensive med is to put it in pill form. :) Now vets can't prescribe it off label due to the fact there is also a pill for horses. So my vet just gives me a bottle with my dogs name on it.

Expert Posts: 1477 Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton	One of my mares almost lives off previcox. I ran out about 3 weeks ago. I went to 3 different vets including the one who originally prescribed it to her and none of them would sell it anymore. So I had to break down and buy the new stuff. I'm glad it came out in pill form bexuse there is no way I could afford the paste. And due to her having having a past with bad ulcers I stay far away from bute.
