LOL, my dog on tamadol!!!!

So my dog hurt her leg last week and today the added tramadol to her ibuprophen.  I kinda freaked out on the vet to make sure she wuldn't feel w/d, you know what their answer was to that!!  At any rate she is in pain and I'm not going to make her own my problem.  I gave her a pill about an hour ago and forgot about it.  I just went to check on her and she is sssssstooooned.  Wow!  I wonder if I ever looked like that?

That made me laugh! I know it wasn't funny at the time but I have known addicts that have taken their dog'd pain meds. after all it is the same drug. And even taken meds from their kids!

Yeah, our Vet said the same thing to us, he said stear clear of Ibuprofen with dogs.  He said they will pay for it later on in life.  But, my friend who is a vet tech, in midland, said it could be given IF it is the LAST resort.

Your vet prescribed Ibuprofen for your dog?  That's just awful!  Dogs can't metabolize advil, and it should never be given to them.  Better the tramadol and a stoned dog vs. ibuprofen and a dead dog.  Fire that vet!

Once the vet gave my dog a bottle of hydrocodone for kennel cough.  I took one look at that, saw that it was pure hydro, with no tylenol and decided that he'd be just fine w/o them.  Those hydros all went in ME.

Stealing from your dog!!  How sick is that?

LOL! Tramadol is a very common pain reliever used in dogs and usually is given for short term use so there should be no withdrawal symptoms. One of my best friend's in San Diego's dog just had a mass removed from her side and was on tramadol for a week, I could always tell when it kicked in too!  It is very, very common!
