gremlin22 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 we have a dog on permanent foster at work, he has severe hip dysplacia and athritis and fusing on the spine. He is on tramadol permanently and metacam as an extra only when needed. he seems to be doing very well on it and it has given him a new lease of life. he's been on it 8 months now with no ill effects that we know of. we are aware it wouldn't be right for a very young dog but he is a 6 year old neo mastiff so it's basically keeping him comfy as the degeneration is to the point surgery wont help.

celeste Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ben's 6 too, good to hear of another dog doing well on it, tbh, I'm happier with him on Tramadol than the prospect of long term NSAID's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
