My biggest concern through all of this, was the discomfort my boy was in. The vet kept telling me it wasnt the Galliprant because he was on it 2 months and would have shown symptoms before now. Not true at all! She didnt know about the side effects and that there was no “benchmark” time for showing adverse reactions. I had to show her screenshots and convince her with the research I did about the medication to get her to refer me to a specialist. The makers of Galliprant need to make the vet better informed before prescribing it. Especially with dogs that have other medicsl issues. I’m sitting here with vet bills, and $200 of Galliprant that I will never use. Worse though, is the pain and discomfort that my boy Jax has to go through. He’s my heart. To see him suffer like this is beyond heartbreaking for me. The damage done is irreversible.
I cannot thank everyone enough for leading me to what was happening. If I didnt push my vet about it God only knpws what would have happened. My advice, question your vet about their knowledge of the the drug. Go with your gut feelings. These dogs are our babies!

My vet initially told me that my Boxer, Jax’s symptoms were not related to Galliprant because he had been on it for two months. He kept getting worse. Lethargic, stools were awful, he was weak, barely mobile and then the vomiting started. I insisted on a specialist and BINGO! His blood panel was lit up. Liver enzymes, Albumin, and a host of other abnormalities. We removed the Galliprant. Placed him on a heavy duty Probiotic, Metrodiazanole,and the list goes on. Galliprant worked wonderfully on helping his arthritis, butseveral thousand $$$$ later, I’m praying I can still pull him out of this.♡

My boy, Jax, almost 8 years. Severe stomach issues from the Galliprant that we are still working through.
Jax had been placed on a high dose of Prednisone which caused panting, pacing, heavy breathing. I was very scared. Is yours on any Prednisone?

You have no idea how happy I am to read these posts. I thought I was losing my mind! My Boxer, who is 7 was prescribed Galliprant 1 month ago. Within the first two weeks you could see a marked improvement in the inflammation and pain management without the “drugged” look he had before. This past few days though he has been experiencing bad tummy issues. I put him on the chicken and rice kept him hydrated but in the middle of the night he would have these bowel movements. Never before in all the time I have had him did he ever mess in the house. Let alone in the middle of the night. This has happened the past few nights. Everyone thought I was crazy because I was associate in at with the Galliprant. Then the mucous discharge started. I knew! I am speaking with my vet and am going to keep him off for a few and lessen the dose
Its working miracles for his mobility issues, but these tummy troubles are horrible. Thank you so much for sharing everyone!
