Will Galliprant upset my dog's stomach given past issues & kidneys?

Question

Dog was given Previcox a couple years ago, gave him severe stomach issues and had to take him to the vet. He is having some pain in neck and back and Vet suggested Galliprant due to his kidney issues. What are the chances that if other pain med made him sick that Galliprant will? I am afraid to give it to him because he is feeling so bad I don't want to make him worse with a huge stomach upset? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 13 years and 7 months old | 40 lbs

Hi! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Galliprant is a new medication that has only been available for a few months so our experience is limited. However, vomiting, decreased appetite and diarrhea were observed in about 15-20% of the patients that received it in the field study they conducted before the medication was released. A dog that was sensitive to a medication is not necessarily going to be more sensitive to other medications. Every medication out there has some potential for side effects. I think it would be worth the try to see if it can help Riley. Good luck!
