2nd injection of librela for Rory yesterday. I could tell he needed it as he was showing symptoms again. He's got up today a perky as anything and his tail carriage has changed again. He already to go and seems happy. His ears are in the happy relaxed and feeling a bit silly position.
Librela?

Good news that tailgate is back. 
It's really strange it's gets lower as the month goes on then when he has the injection it gets a droop near the top then the next day it's all boingy and waggy. The carriage is higher now and he's very comfortable in his body. He's going to town today so he'll enjoy thatGood news that tailgate is back.

Hunter just had is on Wednesday. Tailgate up and incredibly playful and norty. We are trying 5 weeks in between each injection and a lower dose. Definitely saw a huge decline in the 5th week after his injection. Increased drrinking after this injection though . Also he has some scabs around his belly and joints. The pain relief and reduction of stiffness is very clear.
Rorys really well no real side effects but I can tell when he needs a top up. Just hope he keeps on as he is. My main problem is trying to stop him galloping about. I glad we decided to do it he hid his pain so well, but once he had his injection we could see how much happier he was

3rd injection today. He's still happy and enjoyed his cuddle from the nurse.

Rourke is very lame on his RFL and it is warm to the touch. He does have arthritis in LH and is generally very stiff when he gets up, but once out on a walk he seems relatively fine. This last lameness is the worst. I am thinking of asking vet tomorrow for Liberal, but see it is very expensive, will insurance companies pay for it?
Mine has. I've paid the usual excess but they now pay for Rory's. I don't find it that expensive as once the yearly excess is paid it's virtually free.

Have seen vet. Typically Rourke wasn't as lame as he is normally! However, he now has arthritis in the RF paw and has had his first injection of Librela. The vet I used to work with and saw this morning, is very lame, having a hip replacement in a fortnight. Wants to be put right out as doesn't want to hear the bone sawing, knowing what he knows re animal surgery!
