Default Dylan update

We had Dylan (GSD, age 9) at the vet's yesterday for her
three-month cancer check. The really good news is, no sign of a
recurrence (it was discovered nearly two years ago).

The not so good news is that her hip dysplasia has gotten worse,
to the point where we may need to consider surgery. (We knew
this before seeing the xrays - she's been having a problem with
stairs for about three weeks.) She's been on Feldene for more
than a year (primarily as an anti-cancer drug), and her
oncologist switched her to Dermaxx, a COX-2 inhibitor, which he
said appears to be at least as effective against cancer as
Feldene. We'll also be adding chondroitin and MSM to her
glucosamine.

Does anyone have experience with Dermaxx with their dog? Good or
bad?
