rschultz Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I don't want Lexie to suffer in pain. The vet said he will prescribe tramadol but I was wondering if there is something better or stronger she could use.

FiveRoooooers Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is Lexie having major extractions? Poor girlie. Aiden lost four upper molars, he was sent home with Clavamox (for infection) and Deramaxx (pain) and did just fine. Lexie will too Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers.

XTRAWLD Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I wish I could remember what Ryder was on....he was completely stoned for a couple days. I can guarantee he didn't feel a thing but he had his big upper molars removed, which was a traumatic yank on his poor face. The stoned attitude I could have dealt without because he didn't know which way was up, that's the only good thing about it. I'll check the name of it at home if I can find the label. Which of her teeth need pulling?

XTRAWLD Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ack, I was hoping they wouldn't be the ones! In my experience those are the worst ones (I've been fortunate not to have encountered an upper canine to be pulled which affects the nasal cavity). You are right to hope she's not in pain. I'll get back to you later today if I can find it! She'll be fine, but it'll be a bit of an owie. And it's ALWAYS worse for the owner!

tbhounds Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Most clinicans prescribe a NSAID and Tramadol to go home. Your vet should do nerve blocks so recovery won't be painful and they also often give a rimadyl injection intra op so that's on board too. To be honest if the teeth are already pretty diseased it makes for easierless painful extractions. ok thanks...two upper molars Molars or the 4th pre-molar-----big difference!

greysmom Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Has Lexie taken Tramadol before? If not, you might want to opt for the nsaid, if given a choice. Some greyhounds - who are sensitive to opiod pain meds - can have an adverse reaction, with pacing, panting and an inability to settle down. This is not what you want to have post-op.

Remolacha Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 When Sallie lost all her upper molars (both sides) and some other teeth, she was on tramadol for a couple of days, and I am pretty sure she got a rimadyl shot at the vet's. She did just fine, was mostly back to normal after about 48 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've had two that were given a fentanyl patch after major surgeries and it worked great - even on Rex that had a horrible reaction to Morphine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Molars or the 4th pre-molar-----big difference! This is very true. Ry got his very back little ones taken out that were just hanging on for dear life. I finally put two and two together about why he shakes his head at mach 1 often. He barely had any pain in comparison to the other big chompers he had taken out! And no more mach 1 shakes repeatedly.

tuff Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Jujube just had 16 teeth removed including most of her molars and went home on rimadyl and tramadol and seemed to do fine once the wonky general anesthetic wore off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 She is home. A little wobbly in her back legs. She ate some soft food and is sleeping now. Vet gave her tramadol and rimadyl. He said I can give her both tonight. Quote Lexie is gone but not forgotten.💜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Glad she's home. Rimadyl and Tramadol work well together. Watch for post op bleeding-Amicar may be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTRAWLD Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Musta been Tramadol......they gave that to us the last time, and for Kasey as well. Glad Lexie is at home and all is well!
