Librella is a monthly shot, primarily for arthritis in older dogs. It's working very well for Izzy.

" Librela (aka, bedinvetmab injection; aka Barensa in Australia) is one of the newest tools in our OA management tool box. It a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets nerve growth factor (NGF) and is used to control pain in dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) (Enomoto). NGF has been recognized as an important mediator of pain, and levels are increased in joints of dogs with OA (Isola). The goal of using Librela is to reduce excessive NGF and thereby reduce pain. "

I've had my Heeler mix on Librella for five months or so, along with Gabapentin, but I've noticed that her coordination suffers and she'll stumble and even fall over at times. I have a meeting this week to figure out which med should be stopped first in an attempt to isolate the cause of the lack of coordination.

That is (probably) the gabapentin. It causes ataxia (strange gait) if I recall correctly.

We have brother and sister Catahoula dogs. The male takes to the wife and the female to me. It's interesting how that works.

Agreed, this is a curious phenomenon.

Our boy cat is a complete momma's boy, and the girl is a serious daddy's girl. Follows me all over the place.
