I wrote this lecture for veterinary professionals, but I've done my best to make it accessible to all. I tell the stories of real dogs and their families who faced severe, sometimes fatal, side effects after Librela administration. While discussion and sharing is strongly encouraged, please engage respectfully and consider the profound impact these experiences have had on the affected families.
