I am sorry to hear this. Please speak to your veterinarian and see if this is possible.

Coincidentally, I just had to have my beloved 21 yr old cat (thats 89 yrs in human terms) euthanized..."put to sleep". PLEASE don't try to do something like that at home unless you are a vet or doctor. I'm an RN and would NEVER attempt such a thing. Mistakes happen, you could put him into a coma, or cause him worse pain or more fear than an experienced vet and their staff who do this sort of thing several times a week. TRY to be there to hold your loved one as he drifts off....it takes only seconds. My cat actually had a good relationship with our vet, and she was wonderful. I was weeping, she (the vet) was weeping...but he went quickly and PAINLESSLY. If your animal is frightened of going to the vet (hint: those of you with healthy pets, do everything you can to make visiting the vet positive experience. They pick up on your fear and anxiety!) ask the vet for a pill of valium or something similar for him to take before you leave the house so he's relaxed and "dopey" when you get to the vet, then don't spend a lot of time saying good-bye, he'll pick up on the emotions. Wait until afterward to grieve.

Call the Vet. ask if the injection for this purpose can be purchased. Take your precious baby and hold him/her close into your chest, rubbing it while you are telling him/her how much you love them as someone else is administering the shot. Let him/her know how much they were loved while they are passing over to Gods Heavenly place he's prepared for all our furry babies. If it were me, I'd be crying and kissing mine while they were passing on.

have the vet come to your house with the injection

Under no circumstances should you take tramadol unless specifically told to do so by your physician.

Tramadol is tramadol...regardless of whether it is prescribed for your pet or yourself ...it's still the exact same medication. I am personally prescribed tramadol to control chronic back pain. But with that said, it would be advisable for you to seek out and discuss your situation with a chronic pain specialist or primary care physician BEFORE taking the tramadol to ensure it's the proper medication for your specific problem.

Yes you absolutely can take tramadol for pain. The person below me has no idea what he/she is talking about saying dogs take dog medicine and people take people medicine. That's stupid. Tramadol is not an animal medication to begin with. Tramadol was made for human use. Vets just recently started giving it to animals although it is not FDA approved for use in animals yet. So yes to answer your question you can take tramadol. And before someone calls me an idiot let me inform you all that I do take tramadol and have taken it for 6 years. It is in fact a human medication and it works wonders for my scoliosis without making me "high" I would start out with one every 6 hours first to see how your system handles it. It has a tendency to make you sick if you aren't careful. Good Luck

People take people meds, animals take animal meds. Period.

We sell them in bottles of 100 tablets.

All bottles of Tramadol contain 100 50MG tablets.

100

I just posted an answer that is incorrect. The correct dose range, based on severity of the condition, is 1/2 to 2 and 1/2 tablets every 8 to 12 hours.

My Greyhound is 82 and he gets (2) twice a day with food. Without food I think it upsets his stomach.

My German Shepherd weighs 70 lbs. as well and has severe hip dysplasia in her right hip as well as arthritis in her elbows. I give her one 50 milligram pill twice a day, morning and night.

Crushing the tablet is not healthy for you. If you breath in the powder it can cause serious side effects. You should find a pharmacy in your neighborhood that does compounding and see if they can put this in liquid form for you.

My vet told us to use sliced cheese to give my pets meds. Use just enough to wrap around the med and mush it around the pill so they can't get it out (sliced cheese works best because it molds very easily). They love it. You can also use peanut butter, but it is messy.

We use Greenies "pill pockets." They are fantastic.

Depending on the severity of the pain, the dose can be anywhere from 1 to 4 and 1/2 tablets every 8 to 12 hours.

Dont be taking your dogs pain meds. Your doctor would have told you the answer to this question if your dog needed this.

.45mg to 1.8mg per lb. of bodyweight every 8 to 12 hours for joint pain or every 6 hours for chronic cancer pain. See the tab above entitled, "How to use."

A very good question indeed! The dog dosage is the same as a hman dosage - we use the drug to help with chronic back pain. We were initially worried about giving such a large dose, but it appears to be about right based on our dogs weight and the stated dog dosage gudelines. Still, It does not really make sense that humans and dogs would take the same amount.

1.8 mg per pound of pets weight every six hours

Yes

Tramadol is available as 50 mg tablets.

All Tramadol is 50MG - Tramadol is the generic form of Ultram.

Yes. This combinationin the strength you mention is available in most pharmacies as a generic (acetaminophen/tramadol) or under the brand name Ultracet.

Yes, but acemetaphine increases the risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers, be careful.

You should try a supplement containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM such as Super Joint Enhancer Soft Chews.

I put it in wet dog food & give to her along with her breakfast. At night, everyone gets a treat of wet dog food when she gets her 2nd dose. Those pill pockets are expensive, the wet dog food works best in my opinion.
