Monoclonal Antibodies
Laboratory-made antibodies targeting specific proteins for treating pain, itching, and infections in pets.
Key Facts
- Species-specific: caninized for dogs, felinized for cats — never cross-species
- Must be given by injection (oral administration would digest the protein)
- Given only once or twice monthly (much slower clearance than chemical drugs)
- Lokivetmab (Cytopoint): targets IL-31 for canine atopic dermatitis
- Bedinvetmab (Librela): targets NGF for canine osteoarthritis pain
- Frunevetmab (Solensia): targets NGF for feline osteoarthritis pain
- Parvovirus mAb: single IV dose for canine parvovirus treatment
