My cat was on Solensia for a year. I kept her on it because sometimes it seemed to make a little difference to her arthritis and I thought any pain relief was worth keeping her on, but the improvement wasn't very noticeable and wasn't consistent. The side-effects built up gradually and once I realised why they were happening I took her off the monthly injections. Before Solensia she was a fit and healthy, albeit elderly, 'supercat' with spotless blood tests, good weight and general health. She now has kidney disease, weakness and instability, weight loss, blindness and has just been diagnosed with terminal intestinal cancer. It also made her IBD worse and she no longer uses the litter tray. She seems to have aged ten years in one year. I personally don't think Zoetis have tested this product thoroughly before selling it to vets. If I, and many others, are right this is big pharma acting incredibly irresponsibly. Imagine if it was being sold for humans... I hope the product is pulled before more animals and owners suffer what we are going through.

Unwell dog after 3rd injection, OA diagnosed by a specialist, so xrays. My dog started these at 8 yrs old, I would not recommend this injection, It's Russian roulette.

My cat was one of the thousands that have had a bad reaction to Solencia. I thought we were going to lose her. After the second shot, she developed massive itchy scabbing all over her head and neck. She then stopped eating and drinking. Her bloodwork and ultrasound were normal. Luckily with the help of Prednisolone and appetite stimulants, we got her over the hump, and she survived. It took over 3 months for the scabbing to heal. She is still scratching at the area, and she is still on a low dose of Prednisolone. The drug was NOT PROPERLY TESTED before release. They only tested it on a few hundred young cats for 90 days before releasing it. No tests were done to see if there were long term adverse effects. Zolensia is a crap shoot. You don't know which cat it will help, and which cat it will kill or injure.

After 3 injections my dog began to show 5 of the manufacturers listed known side effects. There is no antidote or anything that reverses the drastic effects. My dog had to be euthanised as he was dying from the multiple catastrophic effects. Do your own research. Do not use.

Four days after his first and only injection of Solensia (which I was told had no side effects) my cat declined at an alarming rate. His adverse reactions included dehydration, anorexia, change of behaviour, hind leg weakness, and unusual sensitivity around his neck and mouth areas. He also experienced pain at the injection site when it was administered and later developed a cyst there, which I pray isn’t cancerous. Five months later, he also still has some remaining hind leg weakness. After spending hundreds of pounds on tests, treatments and supplements, I contacted Zoetis to see if they would pay for the biopsy of the cyst Solensia caused. However, they refused without even providing me with an explanation. Zoetis are pushing Solensia and Librela onto UK vets without disclosing the often deadly consequences. Sadly, it doesn’t appear as though the vets are doing their own due diligence and aren’t researching the drug. It’s shameful that thousands of cats and dogs have died worldwide as a result of Zoetis’ drugs, and yet they’re still claiming that the drugs are safe. Absolutely disgraceful!

Zoetis is pushing Solensia, and getting vets to push it as a wonder drug. It killed my elderly cat, and it turns out it was never tested on the population most likely to be given the drug - the elderly and cats with comorbidities like CKD. It was also never tested long term. Shane on the FDA for approving such sloppy testing, and shame on Zoetis for making OUR beloved kitties the test population! Total failure!

My cat had his first injection of solencia and 3 days later was dead. Great job selling a drug that you know kills animals. All about the bottom line I guess. Hopefully the class action lawsuit will make you pay

My dog had 4 shots of Librela and I regret the day I heard this drug is safe, dogs will be like puppies again! Stop telling vets that! Stop vets telling pet owners that it is totally safe. My poor dog had a stroke, Vestibular Syndrome, liver enzymes shot up to such a high level that my vet thinks she has cancer. She barely gets off her bed. I have to support her when she walks and her head leans to one side, her body leans to her right. She can't walk far. Has diarrhea. The list is long of symptoms that started after her 4th shot. We are praying that she can recover from this drug. I reported this to the company and our vet did too. It should be used as an absolute last end off life hope. Not given to older dogs that are still able to walk! I have friends whose dogs are also currently suffering hoping this drug gets out of thier system before it kills them.
