My 14 year old dog is now back on Metacam as it is clear that Galliprant has been the cause of several weeks of loose stool/diarrhea. Her gradual stool problems began after about 4 weeks on the Galliprant. I also noticed that it did not improve her mobility in general. Since I have stopped Galliprant her stool is ok. I was very much hoping Galliprant would be the nsaid answer, but in her case it was not . I gave it a good try with also reducing the dose and skipping a day for loose stool relief etc but this was not successful. So far my dog’s liver and kidney panels are ok……I will have to again do frequent CBC testing while back on the Metacam.
I have read that the Galliprant trials were done on young healthy beagles, not elderly ones with arthritis and compromised systems, so that is not very comforting to me who has an elderly dog with medical issues.
