tramadol dogs

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.

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.

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!

Dogs can take Tramadol. Our older Dobe takes it occasionally for his aches and pains. If addiction is your worry, relax. Unless he has opposable thumbs, he will have a hard time getting the cap off the bottle and taking too many. And I don't think he'll be able to write illegal prescriptions or take himself to many different vets to keep his supply going! You will control how much he gets.

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.

s a drug that is commonly prescribed to old dogs and I witnessed a neighbor get hooked on his dogs medication. His dog died in excruciating pain while he was high on the dogs Tramadols. It's a horribly addictive drug and getting off of it is worse than Vicodin or Oxys. Please, leave it alone.

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 !

She was also on Carprofen and Tramadol for arthritis and Denamarin (1 pill daily). Dr took her off Tramadol as her counts went up to alp 588 & alt 1000. She weighs 80lbs. Could I give her both the Denamarin and super milk thistle pills (maybe 1) since by weight she should be on 2 pills. Dr's don't seem to like going natural as it cuts into their profits.

my 103lb german sheperd/rotweiler accidentially got 200 mg of tramadol.

My aussie started hiding today,which is what my boxer did the day he died,he is in so much pain that he groans all day,I tried Tramadol last night but had no effect on the pain. Can dogs take morphine when they have kidney failure?

She also told me if I was to take ANY tramadol with this new drug I WOULD have a seizure. So, no more tramadol ever. Thanks.

dogs can sense when their owners are distressed. i loved reading this post, my dogs are my family and i love them. reading this made me smile.

He is also on Metacam for arthritis and we are going to put him on something called Tramadol I believe that is for pain. Will he also continue to be able to eat?

Our 14 year old Lab mix Sable has arthritis and is on Tramadol. It doesn’t seem to be working too well. She has many other health problems, and probably doesn’t have a lot of time left, so we would like to make her as comfortable as possible. She has kidney disease, high BP, and a Thyroid problem, so she is on Benazepral, and Thyrosyn. She hasn’t been eating well, and pain may be part of the problem. But, the Tramadol tends to make her loose her appetite.

Took her to the emergency vet and they prescribed Tramadol and Robaxin (pain and muscle relaxer). Took her to our normal vet on Monday and he said to continue those meds and also gave her a steroid shot. She did well throughout the week... still stiff but seemed to improve. Last night, Thursday, she seemed to be in pain again. She wasn't as bad as she had been on Saturday but was walking stiffly and holding her head oddly again.

t know the life expectancy of either dog discussed in this thread, but I think any dog over 12 year old is, well old. Small dogs typically live longer than large dogs, I understand, still 15 is old. Loss of muscle control is typical of the failing of the body on older dogs, I believe. A vet may have something to help for a while, but sadly dogs don't live as long as we all wish they could.

Your best bet would be to ask your Vet or a Pharmacist.

Hi, I have a 3 legged border collie who is missing his back left leg and his sole rear leg seems to be getting weaker although he has no pain when I touch his spine or leg. He saw a holistic vet in February who said that he had arthritis and wanted to prescribe Rimadyl without doing any x-rays, since I can't afford acupuncture treatments -- I'm currently unemployed. Can a dog that expresses no pain have arthritis? He is able to walk for about 20 min. in the morning and about 10 min.

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My doc put me on tramadol and predisone. I have heard that withdrawing from tramadol is torture, but my doc says that I will probley be on it for life. So should I even be worried? Please share what you know about tramadol andvwithdrawls. Thanks.

Worked pretty good the first couple of weeks has helped with muscle pain but not so much with joint pain.. Also I am taking Tramadol 50 mg for pain daily, for about 4 months now and it is not working as good as when I first started using it.. My eyes feel dry and slightly burning and my ears feel like they are underwater with a buzzing noise when I lay down sometimes. Anyone else get this feeling with Tramadol? I am trying to figure out if it is my meds or just stress.

I don't know when it all started, not really, being hot bothers me and I can't tolerate working or walking in the sun or temps over 70 degrees....and off and on - my skin feels as if it is burning, mostly on my arms, and then pins and needles, and I have arm weakness, can't even lift a pencil, and now leg stiffness and entire body stiffness that is so bad it hurts to move. So all this is making life miserable.

Sorry to be so abrupt but ibuprofen, the active ingredient in motrin, is EXTREMELY toxic to dogs! Even a small dose can lead to events that will kill him. It's best to check with your vet first on dosing, but he CAN have human aspirin as long as it's either buffered or enteric coated, like Ascriptin. But don't give him any other type of human OTC pain reliever because they are just not formulated for dogs.

Said ligament degeneration is part of the process of arthritis in dogs. So, we have some NSAIDs and painkillers (Rimadyl and Tramadol, specifically) and he's being encouraged to be lazy (as if he needs encouraged! lol) for the next couple months... didn't want to do surgery, as he might with a younger dog, because it would be so rough on an old dog. May or may not need long term management once it heals - we'll see in 2 months.

This is extremely hard to do with an 18 month old, 2 month old, two dogs, and the MILLIONS of things I have piling up everyday around the house. Craving a tramadol so bad right now. I won't give in but you guys were not lying when you say this drug does NOT want to let go.
