Arthritic hip relief for large breed dog

Adequane shot and a new shot out called Librella

Thanks. We move into a home with a pool later this month. Will see how she does.

Honestly, you know what needs to be done….

Rimadyl was awesome for my lab but idk how long one can be on it

Go to Hell. I would have said , frick You but I would rather see you burn

Rimadyl is nasty stuff, we gave it to our three legged lab. Ur on the right track to find an alternative.

Have a 6 yr old Shep that I have had x rayed, he has hip dysplasia in one hip. His frame is out of whack and causes him to wear down his toe nails to nubs on his right rear paw. I dread the day that you are facing now. Have been giving him Dasuquin tablet and 4 salmon pills everyday to help his joints. He doesn’t show any signs of pain yet and still runs like the wind.

Keep us posted on what you do.

My vet recommended galiprant for long term usage in my lab with arthritis, but he stopped having issues when I started giving him phycox. I now only use galiprant when he’s worked his butt off.

My situation is different though, mine was 5 when he started having issues.

We have a 12 year old GSD and just got her the second Librela shot today. It seems it makes it easier for her to move around and she seems to feel better. $98 a shot but it does look like it helps.

The Librella shot works wonders, but also has some side effects. It works well as a hail mary drug when you're running out of options related to arthritis. It's about $100/shot but Zoetis has a rewards program online that saves a few bucks.
