Librela made me put my dog to sleep after his 4th injection. He lost the use of his back legs, was twitching, panting, drooling, would not eat, lost weight rapidly, was confused, staring at the wall or floor, and couldn't co-ordinate his mouth for treats. He is now in a wooden box on my shelf because of Librela. I am devastated and heartbroken 💔

Librela injections were not sufficiently trialed and are causing serious damage to our pets. Very disappointed that your information brochure does not cover all the potential adverse reactions (as the Canadian version does). I filed a report with you and never heard a thing! I would really like you to reimburse me for the injections and the follow up vet care for the health issues my dog sustained following the injections. If you are considering Librela for your pet, please do your research first…this is not the miracle cure it is touted to be and is harming many animals!

If I could give this a negative star I would. My dog received this injection and 19 days later lost full movement of his back legs. We are now on day 39 and we are still battling getting this out of his system. He is taking baby steps back on his feet and with lots of patience and prayers we hope we can get him back to walking. I DO NOT advise giving this to your dog at all!!!!!

We were given Beransa as the ‘miracle’ cure with no side effects to our 15 year old border collie. She was in no other medication and fed a raw food diet. 2/3 days after the injection was administered in her lower back, our dog became severely lame in her left hind leg. This was the worst affected arthritic leg due to previous bone fracture that required surgery with a plate and rod needed to secure the bone again which was done when she was just 10 months old. She began dragging her leg behind her, struggling to get up. We asked advice from the vet who said ‘she’s just getting old and it’s more difficult to move’. Fine, I could understand and accepted that advice. However things got worse very quickly and suddenly. She lost some fecal continence after a few weeks. Became disoriented and had heavy panting episodes even when she is groomed, inside an air conditioned house and hardly any activity for more than 5 minutes due to her lame leg. I asked the vet again is there anything I should do, I was again told that this is all due to her age. I mentioned that we had previously done a general health blood test to ensure kidney/liver function was all working well and nothing was starting to display dysfunction. This was around 2/3 weeks prior to Beransa. She was given the all clear and everything was normal and she appears really healthy for her age. So I was confused that she could suddenly go downhill when her bloods were surprisingly good and she’d had this Beransa injection which was meant to help with pain. I didn’t feel right and I didn’t go forward with the second injection. I continued to support her and was waiting for the continence to get worse (she was only doing it in sporadic events). If she became so bad that her quality of life was being affected then we would have made the sad and unfortunate decision to euthanise her. But the opposite happened. The lameness appeared to improve. The disorientation stopped happening so often after a few weeks. She regained control of fecal continence after 3 months. It’s been 6 months since the Beransa shot was given and she has returned to herself. We are now back to visiting off leash dog parks which was something we stopped after the lameness episodes. I cannot stress enough that the Beransa injection must have either triggered these medical episodes or was directly responsible for it. A 15yr old dog cannot recover from such symptoms like lameness especially when the arthritic condition is advanced. Zoetis need to recall this product NOW. There are people losing their pets to this product and it is unconscionable and unethical to continue its use until the testing is properly carried out!

If only l could turn back time, my vet recommended Librella as treatment for arthritis for my beautiful German Shepherd. I thought l was doing the right thing but unfortunately the side effects were horrendous, these included incontinence, confusion, excessive thirst, panting & progressive collapse of both back legs. My beautiful Zoe has since passed & l regret the day she had this toxic medication.

I would give -one star if I could zoetis make librela injection Vet recommended librela for family's 8 year old collie because of not being able to jump into car as well as normal. Poor dog had every bad reaction you could have only had one librela injection first few days seemed fine her face started swelling she refused water and food then collapsed looked confused eyes had green matter in them blood tests showed anemia hypoglycaemia kidney failure liver problems low sugar. Also she had lack of circulation. Sky high temperature heart and breathing 3 times faster than it should be .she was given fluids and glucose could not get her sugars to go up she had to be put to sleep 7 days after librela injection.

Zoetis’ Librela was undoubtedly responsible for the horrific and agonizing death of my dog. Within 24 hours of the injection she was vomiting, had diarrhea, ataxia (neurological dizziness and inability to walk normally, almost zombie like with blank stare), urinating blood, went into shock and died at the ER vet. It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. Thankfully we had done blood work the day of the injection and requested an autopsy after her death. Based on the autopsy results, our vet pulled the drug immediately from her clinic. The autopsy revealed there was no underlying condition that could’ve caused my dog’s death. She suffered needlessly for an elective drug because the vet believed the Zoetis sales reps who continue to push the drug as a safe “wonder drug” with “no known side effects”. Zoetis knows of these horrific adverse reactions, including death, and they refuse to warn pet parents or the veterinary community to maximize profits. This company should be held accountable for all the pain and suffering they’re inflicting on so many families. It’s unconscionable. Stay away.

Company should not say no side effects. The last few months of my collie’s life were spent in agony with the horrible side effects.
