Sheep were divided at random into 3 groups: Group 1(5 animals): not administered by any drugs. Group 2 (5 animals): administered diclofenac sodium (1mg/kg/day). Group 3 (5 animals): administered meloxicam (0.5 mg/kg/day). Results: The Microscopic examination of kidney and liver specimens from normal group expression normal usual tissue architectural , while histopathological analysis of kidney and liver from diclofenac and meloxicam treated animals show renal and hepatic tissues destruction. These alterations were observed systemically and reflected to be a side effects related with these medications.
