As a colleague and frequent visitor to this practice, I am very happy to see this message to their clientele. After much research early after the release this drug, I stopped recommending its use nearly 2 years ago and am happy that they have joined in.
Dear Valued Client,
At Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital, the health, safety, and well-being of your pets have always been our highest priority.
We are writing to inform you that, after careful consideration and review of reported safety concerns associated with Librela (bedinvetmab), we have made the decision to discontinue offering this medication at our hospital.
While Librela has provided relief for some dogs suffering from osteoarthritis pain, emerging reports of potential adverse reactions have raised concerns that we feel warrant a more cautious approach. As a veterinary team, we believe it is our responsibility to continually evaluate the medications and treatments we offer to ensure we are making decisions in the best interests of our patients.
If your dog is currently receiving Librela injections, we encourage you to contact your veterinarian to discuss alternative pain management options. There are other treatments and therapies available that may help maintain your pet's comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
Please understand that this decision does not mean every dog receiving Librela will experience adverse effects. Rather, it reflects our commitment to patient safety and our responsibility to carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits of the treatments we provide.
We appreciate your understanding and continued trust in our veterinary team. Our goal remains the same: to provide compassionate, thoughtful, and high-quality medical care for every pet entrusted to us.
Sincerely,
The Doctors and Staff
