Avatar m tn Are there painkillers for dogs that are safe? Tramadol caused my 11 year old chow chow Emily to have seizures after two days 4 pills and the Rimadyl side effects I just read here are equally as bad. Both were give to her by her vet of six years. If anyone has any ideas please contact me at ***@****. Thank you.
535089 tn?1400673519 I am really puzzled. Our Dog (Casper) has Arthritis in his front legs and has been in pain for a while now. Last month I took him to the vet for his Senior Blood Panel work-up and found out that he has Arhtritis and Hypothyroid Disease. Since his visit, he has been medicated with the Thyroid meds and Rimadyl (anti-iflammatory).
Avatar f tn For sure. Cats are at least 10 times smaller than a SMALL adult human female. What is given to us is too much for such a small animal. For example: The amount of Zyrtec I was told to give to Akira is only 1/4 of the adult human dosage. This is much smaller than the children's dosage, which is 1/2 of the adult human dosage. I would never ever give medications to Akira without her first seeing her doctor. I do know that no one should ever give Tylenol to their pets.
Avatar f tn Determining a dosage of tramadol for dogs is an exercise in futility. As with people, if the dog has a history of seizures it is important to let your vet know this, and they will likely tell you about alternatives. While the dosage amounts vary from dog to dog, the tramadol dosage for dogs can be put into effect by using the dog’s weight as the determinant. The usual range is .5 - 1.8mg per pound.
1550149 tn?1340000730 Constipation; Diarrhea; Dizziness; Drowsiness; Dry Mouth; Increased Sweating; Headache; Loss of Appetite; Nausea. This is not complete and I am sure there are more, less common side effects. I took Tramadol for a short term but it was simply not effective for me. Among the side effects are dry mouth, this would seem to indicate that your mucosa can be dry which may account for your dry eyes. I cannot find reports of ENT side effects such as your under water feeling.
Avatar f tn i hav ditched RX ADs///stay with my aminos now....5thp each night 100 mg for depression and sleep...at the beginning many need it 2-3 x a day...tyrosine 2-3000 mg a day for energy and motivation.,.phenylalanine too///SAMe on occasion, st johns wort on occasion and theanine. GABA it is amazing how these aminos "fix" our brains without the side effects of the big dogs..
Avatar f tn http://www.1800petmeds.com/Tramadol-prod11064.html I personally don't think it worth taking so it probably would be more desired by a pet. No really it is a pain reliever for temporary relief of back pain sprains bruises etc.. The best advise I can give is take OC (over the counter) pain relievers, they have a better chance of getting rid of your temporary pain, and no addiction. Go for the fastest, safest pain relief.
Avatar n tn If you want to take the diagnosis further, you will need to x-ray the SPINE and some of the affected joints. Surgery is most likely out of the question also because of the dogs age and generally in severely arthritic joints there is no surgical correction. Severely arthritic dogs simply need TLC, NSAIDS, Pain relief , perhaps steroids and even physical therapy if practical.
Avatar m tn What you describe is not a side effect of gabapentin. They contraindicate its use in dogs that have kidney deficits, but the only side effects are vomiting, depression, excessive sleepiness and loss of balance. None of the other medications should cause otic issues either, especially since he's not new to taking them. It sounds like your dog has possibly developed otitis externa on top of whatever he's taking the gabapentin and other medications for.
1162610 tn?1262829016 I'm on week 5 off Hydrocodone, first of all! Yaaaay! Still craving the stuff though, but less and less it seems. Since I still have pain, now and then, I have been prescribed Tramadol, rather than the narcotics. What are the narcotic effects, if any, of Tramadol? I've only taken 1 or 2 a day, but with a hysterectomy coming soon I'm concerned for my needs for pain meds again. If I have to take more Tramadol, how will that effect me? Thanks for your help.
378273 tn?1262097621 Afibs and sometimes weeks go by without an episode; but most of the time I get it about once a week; usually in the middle of the night. One time, one of my dogs woke me by bumping his nose to mine - I was having a run of really slow beats and I guess it scared him. Usually I have tachs though - hard to say which is more uncomfortable. Spicy foods brings it on as does stress, but not at the time of the stressful event; a few days later!
442658 tn?1563386491 That's funny you say that because I was walking my two dogs the other day and ran into my neighbor who said her rotty was on tramadol. I didn't know they put dogs on tramadol either and I thought it was strange as well!
Avatar f tn They were all side effects of this drug and withdrawing from it is worse than the side effects, but I am not going to be held hostage to a drug. I rue the day that I asked my GP to prescribe it - and he very willingly gave it to me. Only two good things have come of it - I reverse diagnosed myself and realized all the aches and pains and cold sensitivity are probably due to fibromyalgia (I fit all the symptoms) and I've lost some 12 lbs I've been wanting to get rid of for years :-).
Avatar m tn Tramidol is the generic form of a human medication called Ultram. Tramidol is not recommended to be given in dogs with a history of kidney disease, liver disease, seizure disorders and lung problems. Tramidol side effects may include sedation, anxiety, bloating and gas, constipation, convulsive movements, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, hallucinations, indigestion, itching, nausea, nervousness, tremors, vomiting and weakness.
Avatar f tn Yes-- and you are asking for trouble! Doses of tramadol in excess of 400 mg per day place the person at significant risk of grand mal seizures, which are incredibly inconvenient if they occur suddenly during a drive down the highway! Tramadol is not a benign medication, and neither is the acetominophen in 'tramacet'. You are playing with fire.
Avatar m tn a psych doc even said that 9 out of the 10 ER patients that came in with symtoms of this toxicty that tramadol was the medicine that again 9 out of 10 were prescribed....and this is the short version of the story..heehee...IN ADDITION, MY OPINION OF TRAMADOL IS THAT for me it did not touch my pain AT ALL for relief...that's for those those who do not take anything else for concern...
Avatar m tn As some of you know I'm an addicted to Xanax and I'm working in my tapering off of this benzo, but I had also taked as prescribed, Vicodin 5/500mg and Tramadol 50mg for over a year. I don't think that I am addicted to these opiates psychologically, never took more than prescribed the Tramadol( twice daily) and the Vicodin when I had migraine-which happened to be 3 or 4 times a week, yes.
Avatar f tn I lost one of my dogs to bone cancer last year - My vet prescribed tramadol. It worked great for her. I'm not sure what kind of knucklehead would prescribe deramax for cancer ... especially bone cancer !
Avatar n tn Some of the side effects reported vary due to different breeds & several other factors. We have 1 Rottweiler mix male & 2 rescued dogs (German Rottweiler female & American Rottweiler female). German Rotty was approx 2 y/o when rescued. She had her first seizure approx 2 months ago. Scared me to death. A month later she had another so I knew some of the signs before hand. My mixed male & American Rotty female were going crazy when the seizures occurred.
Avatar n tn We also prefer holistic medicine and fed our dogs rice and chicken and a lot of fish and/or fish oil which are good for the joints. Sometimes, however, we just have to give in and use mainstream meds. Anything that is best for our dogs. Have you tried UBAvet? It has all natural ingredients and we also use fish oil with Omega 3, which the dogs love because it smells so bad. Hope Dr. Cheng has some good answers for you.
Avatar f tn Tramadol has a bundle of side effects including addiction....hard to withdraw from due to their narcotic and anti-depressent qualities...i have heard people complain of alot of side effects while taking them...i guess i am confused but i thought u had an addiction to norco?
Avatar f tn t personally have any experience with tramadol, but I have seen a lot of others on here tell everyone not to take trams to help with other withdrawals because they also cause withdrawal and it's sometimes worse then if you just went off the hydrocodone ct.
Avatar f tn If I can establish the truth about her being able to purchase or not I can then speak to her and try to lead her to proper medical help.
