Librela shortage News. Interesting to read about all the different reactions people's dogs have had. I was due to take Smithy for his 5th Librela injection but the vet tells me they can't get it which is a bitter blow as he has been doing so brilliantly well on it. Together with the hydro and...

Hi Gill - my 12 year old lab has had 4 Librela injections and it's working brilliantly for him. He's bright as a button, not lame and a very happy chappie. He started also on tramadol up to 300mg per day and 100mg Carprieve. Now we are down to 100mg Tram and 50mg Carp and it all works so well...

Thought it would be good to give you an update on Smithy. He is now two weeks past his second Librela jab. The Tramadol is down from 300mg a day to 150 and the Carprieve down from 100mg to 75. He is on such good form I am a bit scared to change anything else and haven't managed to get hold of...

Just writing with the latest on Smithy and the Librela. He is due for the next one on 5th August - so far a very obvious improvement in the front lameness, in fact he's taking the weight on the bad front leg almost like normal. So brilliant to see him not sore in front and a much happier...

Just over a week since Smithy had his first Librela and so far all indications are good. He is still on the Carprieve and Tramadol but the vet is suggesting maybe in two or three weeks we could try to cut down the Tramadol and see what happens. The lady that does the hydrotherapy seems to be...

Well, today is day 4 since Smithy had his first Librela jab and there is a big improvement in his front lameness. He has hardly limped at all this morning . I'm holding my breath to see if it lasts. He has also tried a few steps of trot, which he hasn't been able to do for ages. He is still...

Thank you Natalie - I'm trying not to be unrealistic but going on my gut instinct so on that basis, I'm sure there is a noticeable improvement so fingers crossed. I am trying to keep a diary as you suggest, not least because the old memory isn't what it was so important to write it down. My...

That's interesting Natalie, I think Smithy has gone a bit deaf too ! Especially when I'm calling him for his dinner (which he could always hear, however many doors were closed !) Bit early to blame that on the Librela :wink:

Hi All, it's just over 24 hours since Smithy's first jab and already I can see a difference. This evening when I was fiddling with my horse he disappeared up the far end of the paddock and he hasn't done that for ages (hence I wasn't keep an eye on him !). Note to self - pay more attention to...

So sorry to hear about Pixie, we all, I'm sure, understand only too well the pain of losing our dear doggie friends. My husband died just over a year ago and now my dear Smithy is ageing in front of my eyes and I have to confront the inevitable, whilst doing everything I can to make his life...

Hi Natalie, Thanks for your reply. We don't have experience of many pain killers because the Carprieve has coped with it successfully for last few years (plus Yumove since Smithy was 6 months old). Now at nearly 12 things are starting to go pear shaped and we have added Tramadol to the...

Been reading your thread as my old boy is having a Librela jab on Thurs. He has been on Carprieve for several years to help with elbow dysplasia and it's worked pretty well. However as he has lost muscle tone in the hind legs the fronts have taken more stress (I guess) and the front lameness...
