Onsior should not be given with other NSAID medication or corticosteroid medication. Contact your veterinarian if your pet has abdominal pain, tenderness, or discomfort, changes in appetite, bloody, black or tarry stools, blood in vomit, unexplained weight gain, water retention, fatigue or lethargy, skin rash, itching, yellowing of eyes, or unusual bruising or bleeding as these symptoms could indicate serious side effects. If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop giving Onsior and seek emergency veterinary medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue or face, or hives). Other less serious side effects may occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that your pet experiences.
