Librela: Facts vs. False Promises
A group of volunteers put together a website, advocating for the animals.
Here you will find a more complete picture of this story. It covers Librela, but much of it goes for Solensia, the product licensed for use in cats, as well.
Here you will find worldwide statistics on suspected adverse drug affects, resources for reporting, options to help support dogs and cats that have been physically affected, alternative treatments for arthritis (for when your vet says there is nothing else available but this injection), how to talk to your vet, how to handle the complex grief that ensues if there are adverse effects, and much more.
My protocol for helping support them through an adverse event is also included. If you need further help, I am available for consultations.
Please share this information with friends and family. The more people we can educate about it, the more lives we can help.
Please do your research before consenting to any new medical treatments, OR just wait a couple of years to find out what the real side effects are. In veterinary medicine, stage III clinical trials are performed on our pets, so wait it out before jumping on board.
Initially only minimal safety and efficacy testing was performed, and on young, healthy dogs, not geriatric dogs with co-morbidities. The FDA requires very little these days to get some types of products, manufactured by certain corporations, approved.
Here’s some important information to share: ZOETIS is PFIZER. That’s all you need to know.
