Librela - continue or stop?

Thanks for reaching out with your question about Librela! Librela is typically used to manage osteoarthritis pain in dogs, and whether to continue or stop using it depends on your dog's specific needs and current condition.



If your dog has been doing well on Librela with noticeable improvements in comfort and activity levels, it might be best to continue. However, if you've noticed any side effects, like lethargy, vomiting, or a decrease in appetite, it's important to address these issues. Sometimes, changes in mobility or the effectiveness of the medication can indicate a need for dosage adjustments or alternative treatments.



At home, ensure your dog is comfortable by providing a soft, supportive bed and limiting activities that might strain their joints. Keep an eye on any changes in your dog's behavior, like reluctance to move, whining, or limping, which can suggest increased pain.



If you're uncertain or you notice concerning signs, it could be beneficial to discuss it directly with a veterinarian who can suggest a tailored plan. I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to review your dog's situation and decide the best course of action. This way, you can ensure your furry friend remains comfortable and happy!
