RobinM Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I gave 75 mgs to Beau last night about 10ish. is it OK to give it again this morning about 9AM or should we wait until we get home from work at about 4 or give it even later? It should be given 1x a day as needed.

Guest HersheysMom Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 When Star was on it they told us only every 24 hours. She took 100mgs every 24 hours and weighed 75 lbs. You could probably give 25mg more but I'd ask the vet. Is he in pain this morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytmonty Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Our vet said once every 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I figured it was best to wait, makes the most sense. It's once a day, evey 24 hours. Apparently he either banged the leg he had the extensive orthopedic surgery on last memorial day or slept wrong, but last night he was tripoding. He had a waggy tail and was happy wanted to walk but we didn't. With an injury as severe as his was, we expect a residual limp now and then.

Guest HersheysMom Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm sorry to hear that! You are probably at work by now, but has he ever been prescribed another pain med compatible with Deramaxx? Something that's not an NSAID? Tramadol for example? Then you could give him that this morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 yes, I have that too. But he does not seem to be in pain. I gave the deramaxx to him if there was inflamation. I have the webcam on ( ) and he seems ok. We did do a walk this morning. He put weight on it and seemed otherwishe OK. I think he either banged it or slept wrong, my silly Beau Beau!
