Galliprant

[voodoo]

I will say any med that causes side effects that are worrisome, call the vet. in my case I get told to stop taking med

[Nancy0]

Yes the vet did tell me if there is any vomiting or diarrhea to stop the drug. I’ll call tomorrow - thanks for your help

I've had Mata (14 + yrs old) on it for a couple mos w/o issue. It's supposed to be more effective if given on an empty stomach, just in case no one mentioned it.

Yes I read that though my bottle says to give with food. I called to verify and they told me to give it with food.

I always give NSAIDs with food. These drugs can cause ulcers, I'd never give them on an empty stomach.

This one is suppose to be less taxing on the GI tract, kidneys and liver - why I went with it. We shall see. So far (only been two days) I see no improvement, but the only time I see issues is on dog walks

The only way I could get Rimadyl into my Akita was to put yogurt in with the meal....and then, she could tolerate only 1/2-dose.

I automatically gave yogurt with NSAIDs for every subsequent dog with no appreciable discomfort. Sunnie's on Rovera/Gabapentin and doing well. Yogurt.

Well....talk about coincidence.

We'll find out just how well galliprant/yogurt do with my little mutt. Danny presented with a severely sore butt just about the time I was writing the reply above. Back from the vet and Dan has galliprant and Clavamox for a badly infected anal gland. Oh, he carried on something terrible. They love him but dubbed him The Drama Queen.

Dan has the elevated ALT, hence the choice of Galliprant.

Poor Dan. Let me know how the Galliprant goes. A few people have recommended Gabapentin to me, but the surgeon didn’t. I was given the choice of rimadyl (nope), previcox (Niner has been on this before but not long term), meloxicam and galliprant. Today is his 3rd time taking Galliprant and now he seems fine with it. Hope Dan feels better soon. How old is he now? I remember when Sunny had those puppies

Dan turned 10 on the last day of March.

Sunnie was on the Rovera but obviously needed something added for pain. We've gone from gabapentin (2 pills) twice a day, to three times a day. The vet had said originally that that's what it sometimes took. Apparently, this isn't given for pain as a stand-alone....but to alleviate nerve pain in addition to an NSAID.
