Re: Jolie (# 20)
Tramadol is simply a pain reliever though..it does nothing for inflammation except maybe it will help your pup relax, and therefore let them sleep..so inflammation will go down because they’ve been sleeping! And I’m not trying to sound pretentious or anything, I only know this because one of my Danes sprained a couple of toes and our vet prescribed carprofen, and I asked why not tramadol and she told me because it only helps with pain, and carprofen’s main use is to reduce inflammation. So, while it helps, it’s like taking DayQuil when you have a cold, ya know? Also, to other people saying the carprofen is super expensive, I think I paid maybe $15 for 25qty, 100mg pills. Maybe it’s because my vet has certain scripts on site and doesn’t have to send it to a pharmacy? Anyways, hope this helps! ??????

Tramadol is for pain, but is not an anti inflammatory...
I have a large lab who needs anti inflammatory, but carprofen is very expensive. Any other anti inflammatory that can be substituted? My vet is stumped.

ibruprofen will destroy your dogs kidneys quite rapidly - so if you give this to your dog you will be killing it! if you have already given ibruprofen to your dog then you need to get it to a vet and have a blood test to establish liver and kidney functions. you also need reporting to animal welfare if you have given this to your dog for being a very naive and thoughtless person!

Do not give your dog ibuprofen, naproxen or Tylenol. You will cause a slow and painful death.

Our vet prescribed Rimadyl for our 100 lb Akita cross. It was expensive, but on the vet's advice, we switched to a 325mg bufferin once a day with her dinner. It helped immensely and cost so much less.

No, very unsafe in dogs. It causes gastric ulcers and worse. Please do not use ibuprofen in dogs.

My thirteen year old lab is on tramadol or ultram. Same thing. 50 mg. It's a lot cheaper cause your vet can call it into Walmart. He gets 3 twice daily. My 10 month old just got hit by a car this week and only thing helping is ultram as cheap as ibu. Don't give your dog non prescribed nsaids you will kill it. 180 for the month is 24$ at Walmart and he is 110 pds that's max dose.

My 16 year old dog started showing signs of extreme pain. Her vet saw her last week. He discovered a significant heart murmur which he began a medication for. He feels that since her pain is all over her body, most likely it's arthritis and he began giving her inj's. for that and he also gave her Rimadyl 25mg once every 24 hrs to help until the inj. is working. She weighs 15lbs. She has seemed like a different dog, feeling so much better. So tonight when I picked her up, she growled at me which is her way to let me know she's hurting a lot. I can't get to a doctor tonight and I called a 24 pet ER and they can't answer my questions over the phone..I understand that but I don't want Pepper to suffer all night. My question is would it be safe to give her half of one of the 25mg right now. She took the last 25mg pill 12 hrs ago. Please help answer my question. Thank you so much.
