thank you Scherry. Because Zack hate very late last night , his second meal of the day, i gave him the Galliprant late. He seemed to be panting more . He had eaten plenty of food hungrily. feeding by hand, helping him get it into his mouth. After that, a couple of hours, time to go to bed, he was already in his chosen “bedroom,” the bathroom next to my room. He seemed to be panting harder, and anyway what was less subtle and more obvious was that he was panting hard and not relaxing. Throughout the night, when i would wake, he would be awake and panting. Before last night, he would be snoring and sleeping all night. He often sleeps through me walking past him, since a vet made him deaf in early 2015, for no reason, with unjustified ototoxic ear medication (he had no ear problem. i didn’t bring him in for his ears, vet put meds in the ears when he had Zack in back for a chest X-ray).
Zack now isn’t up to eating food at all. If it’s caused by the Galliprant, the effect lasts at least 24 hours, i’m a afraid such longer. i wish there was an anti-dote.
Has anyone else seen a symptom like this with Galliprant, continuously panting after the first dose, apparently not able to sleep much. i also started him on the Clavamox antibiotic at the same time. It’s twice a day with food so, if he doesn’t eat i don’t know whether i’ll give to him, maybe the Clavamox is causing his new symptoms but i’m more suspicious of Galliprant because all the NSAIDs have Black Box Warnings, including over the counter ones, it’s a recent thing. Black Box Warning is required by the government to alert consumers to the established evidence of risk of a medication.
Thank you for sharing your experience and what you learned from it, i was going to get x-rays and ultrasound this week but i’m considering your advice about taking him to a speciality center. i would take him to the one where he’s a cardiology patient.
