Librela - yes or no?

[SweatyyBettyy]

My 12.5 yr old Goldendoodle is doing really well, apart from her Arthritis. Recently she has had severe Gastritis and the vet thinks the anti-inflammatories have caused it. They have been stopped and the vet wants her to have a Librela injection as it bypasses her stomach.
I've done some research and there are some horror stories online. I'm so torn what to do, as I obviously don't want her in pain. She is on youmove senior already. Thank you x

55000 pet parents say no to librela , sadly the usa facebook page was took down probably because it was a pain fior big pharma zoetis profiting from librela /solensia , if you want to try it research it first , it inhibits nerve growth factor , it stops pain thats it does nothing for arthritis and damages the rest of the body eventually, nerve growth factor is the building block of every part of your body , if it doesnt get your pet straight away it will eventually as youre dog deteriorates, too many owners have realised this too late thats why theres a class action against zoetis for manipulating studies , oh and it was originally for humans but the side effects were that devastating it was never passed , so if you want to give it a try have it yourself first ! Or research the importance of nerve growth factor for your pets body, i would imagine those pushing in faviour of it are paid shills or it hasnt caught uo with their pet yet

Thanks for the posts. My 13 year old spaniel will be starting on metacam tomorrow.

At her age I'd be tempted to try it.
Tried it with my younger dog and it did nothing. I regret that.
She is now on Galliprant which seems to be helping her.

Not a substitute for painkillers but I'd have a look at some different supplements too. YuMove is a bit bog standard imo although always recommended by vets. I'd maybe try some supplements from Riaflex. But even more so, PEA from Vince the Vet. It's really helped my dog. Any chance of her having laser or acupuncture or anything like that? Don't know if you massage and stretch her but that might help too.

Fucking hell! It's a zomie thread! Why? Just why? Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

He's been on yu move for over a year. Vet checked him over today took some bloods to check liver and kidney function. Both his hips are arthritic. He's a working dog so has had a busy life. She said keep up the paddling in the sea, the walks, the oily fish on his food.

He could either have metacam or librela. I'm plumping for metacam and see how we get on.

@justasking111 I was replying to the OP! Not to worry, hope all goes well with your dog 😀
