I think Tramadol is much safer but I'm not sure that will manage her pain adequately. Your vet might be able to replace it with something. It is used in orthopedics extensively though... |
Dr.s & vets seem so quick to dispense meds, yet I notice notice that the newer meds are coming with many, many side effects. I question and research every, med given to me, my son or anyone close to me before purchasing. We must do the same with all meds given to our pups as well. Thanks Ms. Ellie for the information you shared here about Rimadyl. I wish a Gracie a healthy and good recovery. Hugs.
