Chris, Lots of discussion about this throughout this thread. Frequent BMs or diarrhea are not uncommon with this and any NSAID. Definitely talk to your vet, but might be wise to give your pup a break from the Galliprant to let her GI system rest and recover. Restart at a lower and/or less frequent dose until you find the lowest effective dose.
Brian RMemberHi Jamie, GI issues are not as common with Galliprant but still possible as you’ve discovered. You should definitely consult with the vet asap. Most likely you will have to discontinue for awhile until GI symptoms resolve and could try to restart at a lower dose and/or less frequent interval. I have a 70# 13yo Rottie who’s had GI problems with all previous NSAIDS. I’ve given her 60mg Galliprant daily 6x per week since April. Occasionally I give only 30mg when she is doing exceptionally well. Trick is to find the minimal effective dose to keep them comfortable and hopefully stave off the GI symptoms. Good luck.
Brian RMemberI have an elder Rottweiler (13 years) that has significant spinal arthritis and neuropathy. She has never tolerated non-steroidal meds well (Rimadyl, Deramaxx, meloxicam, etc.) as they have always caused severe GI distress for her (nausea, anorexia, diarrhea). The only med we’ve found that she can tolerate is tramadol which is only a pain reliever and not an anti-inflammatory. It has provided some relief, but it’s a narcotic and poses tolerance and withdrawal challenges.
We recently started a cautious trial of Galliprant and it has had a dramatic effect. A huge improvement in comfort and mobility and I am now weaning the tramadol as it can’t be stopped abruptly. I am optimistic but will proceed very cautiously. I only give it with a full meal and at minimal dosing, even skipping a day here and there to hopefully avoid GI problems. So far, so good after 3 weeks of treatment. -
