I have been told that the mixture does not guarantee the appropriate dose. I read something about it being used to hide the taste of the torbutrol but I have never had a pup act like it tastes badly....besides, it is a very tiny amount that is given. Yes, they do get high from it and I have had some look pretty loopy, but I knew they were pain free. I also use Tramadol for pain. The only problem I ever had with that is that for the smaller pups, they have to mix it and it does taste horrible. Vets can get it compounded into a tiny tab but some don't want to purchase that much of it since they don't use it often.
