Hi Judy, My 15 Y/O Chihuahua that weighs 5 lbs was just put on Galliprant for severe Arthritis
in his spine and legs last Wed.

Only difference I’ve noticed is he’s woke up for water prob 6 times last 2 nights and not sleeping well through the night. Hasn’t really helped his arthritis either. Could be too early to tell I don’t know.
Had he started panting like yours though, I’d be VERY worried about that.

I’ve decided last night was his LAST dose of this medicine. Reading all the mixed reviews has
me scared to death to keep giving!

I took him to his vet of 15 yrs 2 wks ago and decided then to walk away from there and not go back.

So took him to a vet an hour away and x-ray showed the arthritis. After driving home I realized Galliprant was the one on here I read mixed reviews about.
I gave for the few days but no longer am.

I’m into more natural remedies for this sweet boy so will be researching what safe product(s) I can give to help him with this.

So sorry your dog is having such trouble. It breaks our hearts to see them in pain.
Please keep us posted how things go.
