Article Synopsis
- Grapiprant is an anti-inflammatory drug approved for treating osteoarthritis pain in dogs, and this study aims to compare its effectiveness with meloxicam for postoperative joint pain in dogs following surgery.
- Forty-eight dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy for cranial cruciate ligament disease participated in a randomized clinical trial, receiving either grapiprant or meloxicam after surgery, with pain scores measured at multiple time points.
- Results indicated that dogs treated with grapiprant experienced significantly lower pain severity and interference scores compared to those treated with meloxicam, suggesting grapiprant could be a viable alternative for managing postoperative pain in dogs.
