Question
I found an empty, chewed up bottle of Galliprant (20mg, maybe 20 tablets left) when I got home. Should I do anything or be worried about an overdose?
My dogs seem completely normal (after 12 or more hours). One is a Westie (16 lbs), and the other is a mutt (29 lbs), and they are both 14 years old. The mutt likely has early stage kidney disease, a nodule on his liver, for which he takes Denamarin, "gunk" in his gall bladder, for which he takes Ursodiol, and back stiffness/pain, for which he is taking gabapentin, and Galliprant.
Answer
From the Galliprant website:
Galliprant tested at up to approximately 15X the labeled dose for 9 months in healthy dogs.
Studied at up to approximately 15X the labeled 2 mg/kg dose for a 9-month duration in healthy dogs
No clinically significant changes in liver, kidney or coagulation parameters
No noticeable effects on food consumption, body weight, ECG, organ weight or hematology
In most situations, gastrointestinal disturbances were mild or slight and fairly infrequent
Neither treatment nor GI disturbance was associated with changes in appetite, appearance or demeanor of dogs
Depending on the weight of your dog he could be fine or become ill. I highly recommend calling the company as they have veterinarians on staff to direct you in the right direction for their product.
