Deracoxib is typically used for short-term pain management in dogs, such as after surgery, and is usually prescribed for a few days up to a few weeks. However, some dogs with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis may take it long-term under close veterinary supervision. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding duration and dosage, as long-term use can increase the risk of side effects.
