NOTE: there is/was a report, no time frame given, apparently for ADE reports on four (4) dogs "Missing", but listing their reported symptoms - I hope the other three (3) that "lived" GOT AWAY in time!
FDA symptom/condition listing for RIMADYL (carprofen)
The below FDA grouping is also dated 11/03/04 and lists the reported symptoms/conditions after the administration of Carprofen [RIMADYL]. I have taken the liberty of only placing the conditions in alphabetical order, assigned many of the listed conditions to a 'body system', which is underlined, and where I could find a definition have provided one from MedLine or the Merck Veterinary Manual.
The below statistics are only from ADEs, Adverse Drug Event reports. It is assumed that a veterinarian would not turn in an ADE for NO reaction, but in my own personal case DVM Williams/BVH, who continuously denied to me that an ADE had occurred from the RIMADYL, and yet turned in an ADE report approximately three [3] MONTHS after ROMI was euthanized and 30 days after I had provided the Washington State Veterinary Board of Governors Investigator with the first 75 documents/exhibits to my complaint and therefore may or may not have been an exception to that "common sense" approach.
NOTE: It would appear that "Treated" means how many dogs had received RIMADYL, but for whatever reason the FDA did NOT "Review" all of them. The "statistically insignificant" dogs who died after being given RIMADYL represent just over 19% of those cases that were reviewed by the FDA, but it's important to keep in mind that it is not a requirement for veterinarians to file an ADE report, it's strictly voluntary.
BECAUSE every below symptom, condition and/or side effect is/was known to be caused and/or related to the administering of RIMADYL, and each condition also has other potential causes, it's understandable why even 'good' veterinarians have problems correctly diagnosing RIMADYL toxicity when the information given to them has been so 'respun' by the drug company in order to keep on selling the product.
While there is a great variety of symptoms in the FDA report (ADE or Adverse Drug Event), the majority of these symptons are NOT listed in information given to pet owners, IF pet owners are given any information at all and what EACH of these poor dogs had in common was simply:
they were someone's beloved pet
they were given Pfizer's RIMADYL
they reacted and/or died after getting RIMADYL
an ADE report was filed with the FDA/CVM

ABSCESS, SKIN ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE ACIDOSIS from MedLine: an abnormal condition of reduced alkalinity of the blood and tissues that is marked by sickly sweet breath, headache, nausea and vomiting, and visual disturbances and is usually a result of excessive acid production.

ANA POS ANAPHYLAXIS/TOID from MedLine: Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening type of allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis is an severe, whole-body allergic reaction. After an initial exposure to a substance like . . . toxin, the . . . immune system becomes sensitized to that allergen. On a subsequent exposure, an allergic reaction occurs. This reaction is sudden, severe, and involves the whole body. Tissues in different parts of the body release histamine and other substances. This causes constriction of the airways, resulting in wheezing, difficulty breathing, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Histamine causes the blood vessels to dilate (which lowers blood pressure) and fluid to leak from the bloodstream into the tissues (which lowers the blood volume). These effects result in shock. Fluid can leak into the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs, causing pulmonary edema. Hives and angioedema (hives on the lips, eyelids, throat, and/or tongue) often occur. Angioedema may be severe enough to block the airway. Prolonged anaphylaxis can cause heart arrhythmias. Some drugs may cause an anaphylactoid reaction (anaphylactic-like reaction) on the first exposure. This is usually due to a toxic reaction, rather than the immune system mechanism that occurs with "true" anaphylaxis. The symptoms, risk for complications without treatment, and treatment are the same, however, for both types of reactions. Anaphylaxis can occur in response to any allergen. Common causes include insect bites/stings, horse serum (used in some vaccines), food allergies, and drug allergies. Pollens and other inhaled allergens rarely cause anaphylaxis.

DIC per the Merck Veterinary Manual online at: http://www.merckvetmanual.com, I was not able to find "DIC", but the search engine provided 14 "articles" for that search, the first of which is: "Acquired Coagulation Protein Disorders" and states: "Most coagulation proteins are produced primarily in the liver. Therefore, liver disease characterized by necrosis, inflammation, neoplasia, or cirrhosis often is associated with decreased production of coagulation proteins, particularly Factors VII, IX, X, and XI." and refers on to: "(see rodenticide poisoning)". A search of : http://www.medterms.com using "DIC" provided:"3 articles" for search keyword or phrase "DIC", the titles of which are: "Leukemia in the Family", "Acute promyelocytic leukemia" and "APL" which provides a potential definition of "DIC" as "APL is consistently associated with a disorder that resembles (but is not identical to) disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). "There is in APL a pronounced tendency to hemorrhage (bleeding). The bleeding can manifest itself as petechiae (little bleeding spots in the skin or elsewhere), small ecchymosis (bruises), epistaxis (nose bleeds), bleeding in the mouth, hematuria (blood in the urine), bleeding from venipuncture and bone marrow sites. . . " so apparently the "translation" of "DIC" is disseminated intravascular coagulation.

An abnormality in one or more of these components of circulation leads to compensatory changes in the others in an effort to maintain perfusion. The hemodynamic and cellular changes that develop as a result of these abnormalities are called shock. As shock progresses, oxygen and substrate delivery to the tissues becomes insufficient to meet energy requirements for cellular maintenance and repair. If shock progresses to the point when cellular energy demands cannot be met, the hemodynamic and cellular responses become similar for all types of shock. Organ failure ensues, and when progressive, the end result is death. Early recognition of the type of shock and an understanding of the pathophysiologic processes initiated allow aggressive treatment and optimal chances for recovery.
