Guest greyfiend Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 As I posted on Sunday our Filbert was bitten by a dog, resulting in a new "haircut" and 4 stitches. He is on Amoxicillin twice daily and on Monday I went to our regular vet and got some Tramadol (conservative dosing) for pain. His poop was normal on Monday, but very soft today. Does this sound typical of either the antibiotic and/or the pain meds.? Thanks for your expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotaina Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Amoxy can, tramadol usually will cause constipation if it's going to do anything to the GI tract.

Burpdog Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Probably both meds contributing Give some acidolphillus pills separate from the amoxi. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey14me Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 yep, it could be the meds or it could be stress from being at the vet or it could be a pain response. acidophilus will help and also, if you aren't already, give the meds with some food.

Guest greytmonty Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ask your vet if you can give some antidiarrhea med like Pepto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
