Reply To: Galliprant for Osteoarthritis anyone?

Can anyone speak to how long it took to see the effects of dosing with Galliprant? My 10 year old standard poodle had surgery in August to remove a rather substantial cancerous tumor over his eye. The surgeon (who was amazing!) was able to save his eye and he has recovered well. However about a month ago he started yelping whenever he would crunch down on a treat or any food that wasn’t soft. Rimadyl seemed to help but wasn’t a long-term solution for all the obvious reasons. He then started yelping when he would eat or even turn his head. Knowing that the surgery was extremely invasive (part of the top of his skull was removed), we had him undergo another CT scan. Results were inconclusive; i.e., vet/radiologist could not see anything out of the ordinary. So the surgeon and my local vet both agreed he should start on Galliprant 60mg (Simon, my dog, is 76lbs), once a day. He has been on it now for 6 days but still yelps and avoids crunchy foods. Just wondering how long it will take for the Galliprant to actually help him??
