There have been some reports of adverse reactions to Librela.

I am always skeptical of any new drug …how do we select the right patients and how do we decide the benefits vs the risks…when we don’t know? This drug seemed to good to be true…

With that said I have seen the huge quality of life improvements this drug has for many pets and I will continue to prescribe it …when multi-modal pain management isn’t enough and when the benefits outweigh the risks.

There is just so much we don’t know and I want to be transparent and help work through the specifics to help you make a decision for your pet.

If you feel your pet had an adverse reaction please let me know so we can report this information.

Please email
[email protected]
If you are my client and want to report any adverse reactions.

Let’s work through the benefit risk analysis together and make each day more comfortable for your senior pets.

Thank you for trusting our team to be a part of your pet’s care.
Dr. Marlow Ball
