    Hi, we recently had vet show us with xrays that our 14 y/o Yellow Lab has collapsed or narrow vertebrae and was told that causes lack of connection with hind limbs and paws. For that it is treated with anti-inflammatory plus Tramadol. On the anti-inflammatory has anyone had issues with Rimadyl, Previcox, Deramaxx? Thank you.

    Labs are susceptible to liver issues with Rinadyl, but my last lab took it daily for 7 years without issue.

    Hind end difficulties.

    I used Galliprant with my previous lab who had two knee issues (had two TPLO surgeries) and then elbow dysplasia (most likely from favoring her arthritic knees later in life.) She had elevated liver levels, so I gave her Galliprant which is easier on the liver. It’s expensive and I am not sure how well it worked given she was pretty old and arthritic when she started using it, but I liked this option better than the other drug choices that would have been more harsh on her liver. Galliprant is a relatively new drug option.
