Guest wjamg Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Peace is having a really hard time since surgery Tuesday to remove a tumor. I called the vet this afternoon to see her because she hasn't gone to the bathroom yet but leaked diarrhea several times today, She seems to be in a great deal of pain so I wanted her to see the vet for a check-up. The vet said she was just going to call me, the biopsy came back benign!!! No cancer!! so this terrible healing process I can handle, my girl is miserable but she'll be okay in a week or so the vet said. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and prayers for my girl. The vet sent me home with tramadol and novox. She was on just novox. The tramadol is 50mg, and the script says I can give 3 or 4 pills twice a day..this seems like a lot, Peace is a big female, 66pds any thought of 3 or 4 pills for her? Right now she is laying on her bed beside me with my hubbys boxers on her, she needs some frilly pink ones~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandysMom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hooray for the benign report!! Mandy is on Tramadol, my vet told me she can take up to 3 pills 3x day for the pain in her feet and back. She weighs 63 pounds. Quote Beverly. Missing my happy toy-flinging boy Sammy (Where's Mandrill), (8/12/2009-9/30-2021) Desperately missing my angel Mandy (BB's Luv) [7/1/2000 - 9/18/2012].

Guest Energy11 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 WOW! Glad it is BENIGN!!! Max, who was 78 pounds, only took THREE Tramadol a day with 75 mg of Deramaxx, and that was for his Osteo pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ss556 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So glad to hear it was benign, now praying that she heals quickly and has no more pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I thought the Tramadol dosing was roughly 50 mg per 30 - 35 lbs, so yes, 3 - 4 sounds like a lot. There is also frequency to consider - it can be given every 8h, but using the lower dosing protocol (100 mg in your case, or 2 pills). Disclaimer: not a vet, just had to give it to my dogs for different issues, and the foregoing seemed to be the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good news!!! If it were me I'd give her the vet reccomended doseage because I would think that type of surgery WOULD be very painful. I know you don't want her to be in unnecessary pain. If she get's too groggy back off and give 1 tramadol twice a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmom Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Joseph, who is @ 70 lbs., was pretty zoned out on 50mg Tramadol twice a day, so I would start at the lowest dose. Hope your girl heals quickly. Benign is a wonderful thing.

GreyPoopon Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Benign! Cora, ~ 66 lbs at the time, was on 50 mg 3 X / day, which for convenience I changed to 75 mg 2 X / day. It didn't seem to have much impact on her. Nor help much, for that matter. When we discussed dosages, the vet said she could have quite a bit more than 150 mg / day.

Guest ChasesMum Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think George got 100mg every 8 hours for 2 days then 50mg every 6 hours and reduced as he felt better. what about asking the vet about metamucil or something...or a stool softener? I know she has diarrhea but fiber would help bulk it up and keep things soft? I dunno, just what popped into my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
