My Crystal has been on Galliprant for over a year. We started at 60 mg. per day. She has extreme weakness in her hind legs. Within about 2-3 months I was able to cut back to 30 mg. per day and even though she still has some diarrhea at times (she did when she started this medication, too). Overall her physical ability has improved and she can walk and even run and go up and down the stairs to the family room. She is 11 years old and an Australian Shepherd and weighs around 60 pounds. My vet does do regular labs on her and she is on gabapentin, too, and several other meds for renal issues (prior to starting the Galliprant). I think every person has to evaluate a medicine on its merits for their own pet. Some will work and others may not be the right medication. Any type of NSAID type medication can cause issues in both humans and pets. As the pet guardian, we need to be aware of these issues and side effects, although some may happen without warning.

BTW, for those using Galliprant, you can go to the Elanco website as they do have some rebates.
