ADMIN MOD. Anyone use Librela for their arthritic dogs? Question. So, we just started our 16 year old Jack Russell on Librela for arthritis. It is a monoclonal antibody that interferes with a protein that is involved in arthritis inflammation and pain. It is dosed once a month.
My 125# old guy is $130/ inj. I'm in the San Jose CA area and was just quoted for a dog weight of 148.5 lbs, the cost would be between $285-$320 for the Librela injection. So the prices are all over the map per pound. Granted that's the largest dog I'm seeing in the comments below.
Now I would say there are 3 ways we use nsaids with librela. If we're swapping, I'll quite often say keep them on nsaid for a week after librela injection, to give it time to work. I would say that about 90-95% of dogs are better after the first month, but they may well be even better after 2.
Librela has been effective at improving my dog's ability to participate in life. A little bit of leaking pee and possibly accelerated mortality doesn't mean much at this point. He's going on his 6th shot and I feel like even despite the new kidney symptoms, I have my dog back, even if for a little while. 7. guitarstitch.
A couple months ago Librela was FDA approved in the US, our vet isn't sure when it will actually be available for use in the US. I was just wondering if anyone had any news on when it will be available for purchase in the US or if there is an international pet pharmacy that ships it to the US for the time being.
Turns out it was Librela. We made a decision on the spot without researching based on her being an expert that said she gave her own dog the drug and has been a trusted vet for going on a decade now. She turned into a puppy overnight. She was running, her walks longer, energy level was through the roof.
Librela refuse to believe that their injection causes negative side effects. If you are noticing weird things happening to your dog it is worth joining that group to see if anyone else has noted it, and provided a cure. On the other side, this injection is a miracle drug for the right dog and it’s down to the owner to do what they feel is ...
At a routine checkup this morning for my eight year old dog, my vet suggested Librela to help with what seems to be her growing overall stiffness. A few years ago she was diagnosed with lumbosacral stenosis secondary to lumbosacral intervertebral disc disease with nerve compression and suspected left sided neuritis.
Iggy Mae is the first dog I chose by myself so ensuring she is comfy is important. For context, she needs assistance when getting into my sedan, faces difficulties when jumping on and off a futon, and has a stiff walk. A lot is going to depend on what area of the country you’re in but my 20 lb beagle is $63 a month in northern IL.
Since then we learned about librela from my vet, and how many vets are excited about getting their hands on it. However, it was just approved by the fda. My wife, a medicinal organic chemist, told me that that kind of medication is hard to produce right now because that type of therapy has to be “grown” from living cells, and companies that ...
