Sadly we gave this to our dog December 1st at the recommendation of our veterinarian, and had to put her down February 8th. I believed what they were telling me. Never again.

[@petAdvocare]

Thank you both for getting the word out. Every person, every vet, who listens will save dogs' lives!

[@dozertank2000]

Thank you!! I was offered this but I declined as my dog had a severe reaction to a common pain med called Deramaxx. He became paralyzed after about a week on the pills. My vet thought I was crazy. He improved once off the pills. I read that Librella had similar side effects as Deramaxx, but it takes 30 days to get it out of their system rather than 24 hours for a pill. I read most dogs who have a reaction, don't survive the 30 days. We truly need to research everything.

[@gretchenkiley6615]

My senior Lab was on Librela for about 7 months for arthritis & after suffering a broken scapula. It worked great, until..it didn't. He developed sudden hind end weakness in alternate legs, e.g. while walking they just give out. It was shocking and horrifying! I stopped Librela immediately and prayed he would recover, beating myself up for having tried it. Thankfully, he's among the lucky pups who recovered from side effects. I wouldn't try it if I was on the fence about using this med... Edited to add that the vet didn't make any claims that there aren't side effects, i read the insert and was nervous but went with anecdotal good results from other pet parents.

Thank you ladies for this video. Thank you Josie for everything you have already done.

[@alexandrac9536]

So happy that you made this video. Zoetis has too many cheerleaders in fb OA dog groups. They gaslight you if you caution against Librela or Cytopoint.

[@trysh1974]

I lost my sweet boy to Librela June 16, 2024:( I am angry, at zoetis to use our pets as test subjects without our consent! Angry at how he suffered! SUFFERED! I will NEVER trust any vet again!

[@mp3626]

Thank you for the science lesson today.

[@LizBailey-x5s]

My dog was given a shot of Librela in early January. She had a history pf seizures but had not had one in over 7 months. A week after the shot she had 5 in 1 day. After that they continued every 3-4 weeks. I wrote to the company and they didn't seem to care. Apparently, this med crosses the brain barrier 7 days after injection. Sadly, I had her put down in May as the seizures got worse. She was having grand mal and focal. It was hell. Vet was not aware that it can trigger seizures, She was only 9 and my best friend. Wish I never got her that shot!

[@MargaretAnneCameron]

It time we all say no to Librela injection to the vets sadly my old girl Molly who was 13 year old was put to sleep in March just this year because of the Librela injection , the vet had said it was safe which I had believed in my vet and I wish I never did we did a blood test before my Molly started the Librela injection and both her kidney and her liver was perfect when we did the first blood test , but all a sudden when she started the Librela injection she started to Seizures more and wet her self and could not get up all her self and the Librela injection had caused her to get Liver and Kidney failure .

[@judinelson4536]

What is your opinion on Stem Cell Therapy for dogs?

Medication which can be incredibly dangerous. Everyone should be made aware of the risks of librela to make an informed decision.

I personally decided as a result of my 2 dogs experiences with librela to boycott all and any Zoetis products. My vet has been informed that they are not allowed to prescribe my two surviving dogs any medication not being at least 10 years on the market. I will not give my dogs any new to them medication before studying the studies on those meds, including the pre-trial and the reported side effects from both Europe and Canada. Zoetis taught us not to believe anything from pharma companies and being wary even of our vets. I am personally in the process of reviewing all medication currently prescribed to my dogs.

[@Darknessseeker0]

I didn't know Zoetis made drugs for dogs as well. I'm a cat owner and have seen horror story after horror story about Zoetis' drug, Covena. Cats dying, collapsing, needing to be hospitalized, etc. My cats wont ever get a drug made by Zoetis.

[@lupineh7831]

Red/green light therapy is very beneficial for pain management. Photonic Therapy Institute offers lots of info on how to use. You have to use regularly to get maximum benefits. I use it every day for my critters and myself.

[@rickylu7200]

Oh man, I just started my German Shepard on this, I have given two shots to him (I have to do it he won't let anyone touch him but me) so here we go...educate me Dr Judy, you are the best. Now what do I do for him? If I don't find a help method, I will probably have to help him crossover in about six months. 😕

[@rickylu7200]

Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, I won't give it anymore, I was of course told it was the miracle and my research on the internet says the same miracle, and NO SIDE EFFECTS, careful folks don't believe the information on the internet! The first shot was helpful, the second not so much and I was considering stopping this drug anyway.

[@rickylu7200]

I live in Mexico, I have no options for holistic therapy and I am at my wits end trying to provide a quality of life for my German Shepard. 😪

[@gretchenkiley6615]

​@@rickylu7200watch Dr. Judy's videos specifically for issues that your dog is suffering. Maybe you will find some alternative options to help your boy, especially nutritional. The more natural food you can feed, the better. You may be able to have a video consult with a holistic veterinarian as well, please don't give up hope. Sending prayers 🙏❤️🐾🙏

So what helps a dog,who falls on his front joints and they collapse

[@typster]

I heard that American vet's use double doses, here in Europe it's very strict. After my dog got The over 40kg shot it gave her Bad reaction, bloody diarrhea. But If The dose is for less than for 40kg - then she's fine. What about Cartrophen? 🤔

[@petAdvocare]

No, same dosage. we just have more dogs so reporting rate is skyrocketing!

[@le7161]

I wouldn't even use this if my dog was at the end. Why would I want my dog to risk all these terrible things and make my dog suffer. Then still need pts. I would just pts before ever trying this injection, without any further suffering.

[@create-hx7pe]

My vet recommended Librela for my 15 year old Cockapoo. Bindi. Fortunately I had read about the potential side effects, and promptly declined his recommendation, to which he responded that his wife, who is a veterinary Opthamologist had seen 5 dogs who had SARDS, 3 of whom had been started on Librela that week! Incase people are not aware, SARDS is a devastating autoimmune condition that causes dogs to become irreversibly blind in a matter of hours. I know how rude and horrible this condition is all too well; my precious Bindi has it. I owe her condition to many years of feeding her processed kibble, and an overwhelming infection caused by a vet who aspirated a lump with a contaminated syringe.

[@kimberleyHancock-v6c]

So what is your recommendations?..

[@lisafoster4468]

You know, I've been thinking...the FDA said they couldn't find anything "conclusively dangerous" in the pet food they tested. But if they're calling things like THIS not dangerous... 😢 Some people say you were making up the whole thing about the dog food being dangerous. But looking at what I DO know, my own dog definitely got sick from her food around that time, I did see some dog food severely discounted (like never make a profit discounted,) the FDA took way too long to investigate (what if it was a chemical that degrades over time?) and wouldn't talk to us, thousands of people reported major issues after new cans or bags before you said anything at all, Purina claimed to be safe without showing us ANY test results...the whole thing just...i would not be surprised if people were paid off to say it was safe. I also know that your advice has been insanely helpful for not only my dogs' health, but also my own that I've been severely struggling with. And even if all that happened was that people started reporting more and there was nothing "wrong" with the food...well, THAT is even scarier, because it means this happens all the time. 😢 I hope you'll make a follow-up video. But I understand if you don't...people have GOT to be PO'd that you called it out.

[@donnarewald8166]

I am absolutely mortified, we are in Ontario Canada,our 15 yr old labradoodle has osteoarthritis and in pain, she’s on triacta and CBD oil and our vet just told us about liberal with no side effects and if it doesn’t work after the 2nd injection she suggests ending her life, so she JUST had her first and LAST injection this past Friday, 2 days ago and now I see this! I will be emailing her tomorrow morning and now I need to know if there is anything else we can possibly do for our girl as she’s otherwise completely healthy, her bloodwork was perfect as was a stomach X-ray. I’m lost and don’t know what to do next

My 13 year old had her 1st and last injection in August of 2024. I had to euthanize her last week. September 19, 2024😓

[@starlakelsey2782]

I can't thank you enough for this information!!!

[@heathertrentowsky6090]

Oh no! My Brittany has had 6 months of librela. My vet knows how I am against drugs. He assured me of its safety. I also know someone who is a rep for this drug who swears by its saftey...I feel very deceived. He has developed a tumor on his liver but don't know if it's related. No more shots for my little buddy.

[@zoelafantaisie9287]

Fantastic conversation - we can learn a lot about human drug issues from you too as well.

UK you don't get a leaflet unless you buy from a pharmacy with a prescription with librela the vet just injected my girl. She kept all the packaging. I asked loads of times if was safe sie effects. She had a nerve issue I lost her 3 days after the second injection to which my vets insisted was no related. She did pass easily she suffered. Badly. I like my vets they're lovely but I do not believe they are aware. I put my trust whole heartedly into my vets because I don't have a choice and my vets do seem lovely and I'm not blaming them. But I blame zoetis for killing my girl. Their push to vets and vague information. But vets do need to say hold on we need more before giving this to our patients. And vets need to be made aware and so do patients parents/owners. My dogs are not test subjects. I'd do anything to have my little girl back. She was only 9 years old 7 months 4 days old and44 minutes. I have her mum and brothers, she was part bottle fed and fed by mum as mum needed help. My dogs are my life. It been 320 days 1 hour 22minutes since we lost her. I do think blood should be the minamal mandatory test before giving librela so willingly but scans too. It is only for arthritis and can heighten other conditions which is what I've recently learned from a Canadian vet in a group. Yet it still isn't so widely know. And still pushed as an wonder drug. I'm also to blame because I didnt do enough research. I tried but seeing so little I should of said no to it. But I blame zoetis mostly they need to be stopped and even shut down for it. That is not care but greed.

[@Scentsabledogs]

My dog (Shih Tzu/Jack russell mix) ended up with IMHA and was at Michigan STate for a week. He needed 3 transfusions and is still recovering. He had 4 injections of LIbrela prior to getting IMHA. The last was in March 2024 and the IMHA caused collapse in May 2024. I have reported this to Zoetis, and he seems to be recovering on a protocol of prednisone and clopidogrel. Thanks for this video . As an aside the LIbrela helped with a limp he had.
