johnharris 177 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I just got a saluki cross and he has been neglected, he had an op in the vets today to have two big blood filled lumps drained from his ears. He is no in his kennel under a heat lamp but is whinning and in pain. Any idea if I can give him human painkillers like tramadol. he is on antibiotics and has a penicillin jab. Will our painkillers hurt him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will our painkillers hurt him dont give him anything else, he as got enough in him with the above.If you did vou will upset is guts. If next time you need to give for pain relief , and he as nothing else in him ,give him a (asprin) 1 day. I give my dog if he as cuts or bites, my vet said they are ok for dogs and he does the greyhounds in w-ton track, had him for 20 years a very good vet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the colonel 83 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 yes you can, but tramadol might be too strong! paracetamol, half adult dose better, but i wouldn't give any myself, penicillin will soon heal it. atb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trinder 127 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Asprin sparingly for 1day after his antibiotics have worn off , id let antibiotics do ther job for 2days and let dog build up appetite so his body can absorb asprin safely Atb Trinder 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I`v eused paracetamol on my dogs plenty,, just be carefull with the dosage, I would hold off just now though, with the drugs already in use I wouldn`t be in a hurry to add any more ATB mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Never use paracetamol, can give long term liver damage. Asprin used sparingly as already said. Chances are your vets will have given him a long acting painkilling injection after surgery, so wait till the day after before giving anything. He will probably be whining because of the anaesthetic, it can do that to some dogs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 you can give them ibrofen but give it with food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's a old post but asprin is fine and any paracetamol based painkiller's are bad for the dog..if in doubt ask your vet.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 you can give tramadol but if the vet thought it needed strong painkillers they would have prescribed them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 iberprofen is poisous to dogs and tramadol is to strong it will damage the dogs liver , 250ml amoxacillin is ok or as said asprin in small doses give with food go on line and get some proper vet meds but if in doudt ask the vet or somebody who knows whats what or you will do more harm than good 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 ibrofen isnt poisoness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 No but its very toxic not worth the bother ..Plenty other stuff about cheap enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Most vets will prescribe pain meds after surgery. Usually Carprieve (Rimadyl) I'm surprised this wasn't given. If the dog is in obvious pain tomorrow, go back to the vet and ask for some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 ibrofen isnt poisoness for DOGS its poisonus for humans its fine unless you have to much then it can kill you, try taking a couple of packets and see how you feel 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
