I never had a problem giving low dose of dex and metamizole. Not mixing it together, to be clear. Would like to hear if this is in fact not smart.
"Metamizole is marketed under various trade names, including Algozone, Algocalmin, Algopyrin, Analgin, Dipirona, Novalgin, Neo-Melubrina and Optalgin. Metamizole has been used for decades in many European (excluding the UK, but including most of continental Europe, including Germany, Italy, Russia and Spain), Asian (China, India, Indonesia and Thailand included), African (including South Africa) and South American (including Argentina and Brazil) countries, despite this, it has been found to have a potentially fatal side effect of agranulocytosis (a dangerously compromised immune system; its rate varies significantly country-to-country), aplastic anaemia and hypersensitivity reactions (like allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis). It was once widely combined with various other active ingredients, but since concerns over its safety have been raised in the late 1960s and 1970s its use in combination products has been in decline and in some countries, banned."


We don't use this drug in the US, and (based on some internet research) it sounds like an archaic, forgotten remedy and not very smart to use 1) in combo with dex and 2) on a wounded animal susceptible to infection...
