Just like Rimadyl side effects, Deramaxx and other NSAIDs can cause an upset stomach and nausea and have a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers.

Sed rate, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a blood test that can reveal inflammatory activity in your body. A sed rate test isn't a stand-alone diagnostic tool, but it may help your doctor diagnose or monitor the progress of an inflammatory disease.
