If you have a dog/cat with worsening arthritis, I really really encourage looking into librela. If I hadn't started my 12+ year husky on it, my other option very genuinely was letting her go at the end of 2024 when she couldn't stand. Carprofen/doggy tylenol wasn't cutting it anymore. I still don't expect her to keep going more than a few months, and I want to let her go before she's suffering. But I've gotten to run with her again!! The medication was only recently approved in the US and it's incredible to me that I get these last months with her with improved health because of it. Huskies want to be on the move!! It's been so so worth it
#I've been planning it because i think at this point i want someone to come to our house to put her down because i want her to be the most-#comfortable possible#but god im scared to let her go and try to know when it's time.#suki is truly loved by all :'( even cat ppl who tell me they're wary of most dogs have loved her bc she's so gentle and funny#but i saw a lot of fear mongering about this medication#there are side effects to be aware of! but it's often used at the end of life when they start having more health issues.#but i did think. some of that fear mongering assumed correlation where it wasn't. they're at the age that they start having more problems#I'm just so grateful it's worked so well for us and want to share a positive anecdote
