Inside Librela: Vet Gaslighting, FDA Alerts, And Safer Paths For Pain
Manage episode 516998054 series 3625283
What if the path to “optimal health” isn’t another monthly injection, but fixing the food bowl first? We dig into why we refuse to meet clients at kibble, how species-appropriate raw reduces inflammation at the source, and why the most common objections—cost, convenience, and fear—often crumble with honest math and simple workflows. Along the way, we tackle one of the most controversial pain products in pet care: Librela. We unpack the safety narrative, from denominator fallacies that count doses sold instead of dogs treated to FDA alerts raising red flags on neurological events and other risks. When language turns into gaslighting and clinicians doubt their own observations, trust breaks—and pets pay the price.
We go deeper than outrage. Limping is not a diagnosis, and arthritis isn’t the only cause of pain. We walk through better routes: chiropractic assessment, rehab, imaging to confirm what’s actually wrong, and smart use of older, well-characterized medications when necessary. You’ll hear why we avoid brand-new drugs until years of real-world data exist, and how generics get repackaged at triple the cost without delivering better outcomes. We also connect the dots between early spay/neuter, altered biomechanics, and joint issues that show up as “mystery” lameness later in life, plus a pragmatic look at hormone-related incontinence and root-cause fixes.
If you’re ready to trade quick fixes for durable health, you’ll leave with practical steps: building a balanced raw rotation, reducing carb-heavy fillers that drive inflammation, documenting reactions to meds, and advocating without apology. Your notes, your timeline, your instincts—they’re data. Subscribe for more straight talk on raw feeding, pain management, and better vet conversations, share this with a pet parent who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your dog’s best health starts with you.
