Plain-English summary
A mature male Rottweiler suddenly collapsed and showed signs of severe abdominal pain. After a thorough examination, the veterinarian found a large perforated ulcer in the dog's upper intestine, which was likely caused by the combination of two pain medications, meloxicam and aspirin. This condition led to a serious infection in the abdomen. The dog required surgery to repair the ulcer and treat the infection.

Abstract
A mature male rottweiler was evaluated for acute collapse and abdominal pain. The history consisted of concurrent administration of meloxicam and aspirin. On exploratory laparotomy, a large perforated ulcer was discovered in the proximal duodenum, with secondary peritonitis. The pathogenesis of NSAID-induced gastrointestinal ulceration and the supposed safety of COX-2 selective agents are discussed.
