It has been a week since Ollie had his 1st injection....must admit our planned appt was brought forward as we were concerned over a distressing episode during the night.
Ollie started wanting to go out x3 in an hour in early hours, he was in pain and straining to poo, he was anxious and panting constantly for an hour or more. After a cuddle and making him comfy on our bed he settled and was brighter in the morning.
Vet saw him at 9.30 and checked him over, no heart problem and no signs stroke, no confusion noted.
We decided rather than wait a day or too to go ahead with the Librela.
Two days on we had a cheeky cocker spaniel - his joint pain around his shoulder is certainly less pronounced and he is more mobile. He had really showed a lot reluctant to go a walk. When I attempt to walk him he would get to the footpath outside our house and when we start to move away sit...with his weight I cannot lift him. He even went eagerly to the car and attempted to jump in on Saturday, hubby had quite a time holding him back to lift him.
He does not appear to have any side effects, if it gives him a improved quality of life for a few months then that is all we can ask.
