Avatar n tn It has been shown that veterinary acupuncture in conjunction with anti-inflammatories (steroids) and analgesics (tramadol and others) is highly effective and may be more helpful than anti-inflammatories and analgesics alone. If surgery is not recommended, or if you choose not to have surgery performed, than acupuncture is worth a try.
Avatar f tn Is there any medication that a doctor will give me to get over the withdrawals of Tramadol while I continue to work? I have been on Tramadol for 10 years and it is about time to stop. I want to continue to work and take withdrawal meds but not sure if there is anything a doctor will give me.
Avatar n tn I do not know whether he injured himself in any way His vet strictly limited his activity for a week and gave me Tramadol, which he has been getting (2 pills perday). Shortly after that, the limiping and hopping went away, but then he started trembling several times a day (whole body trembling). During the days that he was trembling, oddly, he was not limping at all. The trembling would often start suddenly if I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk.
Avatar n tn If screening xrays and labwork are not informative, then more in depth diagnostics or referral to an veterinary internal medicine or neurologic specialist would be the next steps.

Avatar f tn My addiction lead me to make a huge mistake and steal morphine from the Veterinary hospital I worked for. I am in relapse prevention classes now. The problem is I still suffer with intolerable pain. I don't know how to relive my pain so I can lead a normal life. I don't trust my self not to abuse pain killers, but I have tried ecery thing else. I have had two back surgeries, last one was an anterior fusion at L-5 S-1. But I seem to have pain every where.
Avatar n tn If you are in the Houston area and have lots of money to spend, you can get a referral to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in the Galleria area. That facility practices human-level veterinary medicine. If anything can be done, it will be done there. Cost is a big consideration, but more importantly, quality of the remaining life of your dog. Sometimes even if a treatment is available, it isn't fair to put the dog through it.
Avatar n tn If your cat were my patient, I would refer you to a veterinary teaching hospital to be evaluated by a veterinary nephrologist, and other specialists. Is there a veterinary teaching hospital or a referral clinic, with veterinary specialists near you?
Avatar f tn Homeopathic medicine definitely has a place, but in my opinion, it should not be the only treatment. If at at all possible, I hope you can convince your mom to consult with a vet who also focuses on western veterinary medicine. You may also want to consult Dr. Cheng here at Med Help on the Ask a Vet forum. She practices both western and holistic veterinary medicine and I'm certain she can give you some insight on this subject.
Avatar m tn http://www.ivas.org/, or http://www.tcvm.com/Resources/FindaTCVMPractitioner.aspx Additionally, therapeutic cold laser therapy and/or physical therapy may also be effective. I often use cold laser therapy and acupuncture together on painful patients. You did not mention how old your dog is or what breed/combination of breeds he may be. You are welcome to post this information for additional help.
Avatar n tn The vet thought he was in pain so we began the medicine. That did subside a lot, but then for days he would stand for hours, try to sit or lay down and immediately get back into the standing position. He also did not want to walk (which is loved), but now seems to want to most of the time, but obviously not as far. After 2 days of standing that subsided. He is now more relaxed, sleeping a lot but also restless at night. He does eat, but not a lot.
Avatar n tn I have personally seen very positive results with adjunctive holistic veterinary medicine for kidney disease. Please research holistic veterinary medicine websites, such as the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association website, Chi Institute and others.

Avatar m tn I had never heard of Tramadol till I started reading these forums. I understand, in certain situations it can be addicting. But Most Dr.'s who prescribe it, do it becuse they belive it not addicting like a opiate based drug. I dont know if Tram is opaite based myself. I am currently in remission of abusing my oxy for chronic pain. I got into this bad habit of snorting them and taking too many and running out early of course. I started my recent refill off correctly this time.

Avatar n tn When possible, seek such second opinions from recognized specialists, those who are board certified, such as in internal medicine for example. That way, your dog will receive the best care possible. Good luck with your dog and her illness. Sincerely, Dr.

Though invented much earlier, it was developed in the late 1970’s by a pharmaceutical company named Grunenthal gmbH. It is mainly used in treatment of restless leg syndrome and fibromyalgia in human beings. Besides, it has some other veterinary usage for rabbits, cows, dogs etc. and also in transportation of fish.
