For analgesia and reduction of chronic inflammation, for example in

4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not exceed the stated dose.
The elimination time of NSAIDs, including carprofen, in the cat is
longer
than in the dog and the therapeutic index is narrower. In the absence
of
specific data use in the cat is contra-indicated.
Do not use in dogs suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease,
where there is a possibility of gastro-intestinal ulceration or
bleeding, or
where there is evidence of blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the
product. As with other NSAIDs there is a risk of rare idiosyncratic
renal
or hepatic adverse events.
Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each
other. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and
compete with other highly bound drugs, which can lead to toxic
effects.

4.5 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i) Special precautions for use in animals
Use in dogs less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged dogs, may involve
additional risk. If such a use cannot be avoided, such dogs may
require
a reduced dosage and careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive dog, as there
is a potential rise of increased renal toxicity.
Concurrent
administration
of
potential
nephrotoxic
drugs
should
be
avoided.
