I got into this for Galliprant. If it works as good as current NSAIDS without side effects it'll be a huge money maker. Problem I've seen is all my vet friends (I am one) describe it as helpful but less effective than previcox or rimadyl.

I am astounded by your reply, Buckboard. I believe you are sincere and see no reason to pursue the matter of PETX's decision to withdraw the aborted offering.

To avoid any possible misunderstanding, I will give you the name of the animal hospital in Utica, NY, the vets we are dealing with there and other matters after a Thursday appointment for a checkup. We now get our grapiprant tablets ["Galliprant"] by mail order from PetMed.

Dixie is our 7 or 8-year-old, 80-lb border collie-lab mix rescued from a shelter.

We first took serious notice of a scary problem of Dixie keeping one rear leg off the ground or dragging it as a useless appendage. Her pain and some distress was obvious. I had to think OSTEOSARCOMA frown from my limited knowledge of that horror but truthfully osteoarthritis is as deadly for dogs.

The vet at the animal hospital told my wife of the clear evidence of arthritis in front legs and chest. The odd motion in running persists but the old high spirits are back and she easily outdistances our black german shepard running. No x-rays have been taken to date. She prescribed Dasuquin Advanced, which did seem somewhat helpful but not remotely like Galliprant that I had to go on an odyssey to obtain. We needed a prescription and no local vet knew anything about it.

We both believe Dixie would by now be long underground or incinerated without the piprant. An unfortunate delay in getting a prescription to the 1st mail order supplier saw the return of the symptoms of osteoarthritis full force until we got more tablets. Galliprant is no cure but again it works wonders for now for something over $200/3 months supply. I surely understand that would be too high a burden for some dog owners.

My email is terryx@juno.com and I will be happy to answer any inquiries but I suggest waiting until at least the end of the week to absorb any word we get from the vet. Should anyone send an email to me, I suggest a notice here because the volume of junk email is overwhelming.

Best, Terry
