Sky

Our Euan had also the max on painkillers. Carprodyl and Tramadol. He reacted well on this combination. He had this for 2 years, until he started to be very uncomfortable with pain...
Finn on the other hand got tramadol injection for his back pain 4 weeks ago and didn’t react so well on this. Could be that it was injected and not in tablets though. That’s what I think.
Euan was in the beginning a bit doped and slept a lot. He soon got used to his medication

The vet said she might sleep a lot. If this is the only side effect, then I am ok with that - important her pain levels are bought down. Thank you for this @Anne123. It’s helpful to find out about others experiences

It's so difficult for you Alison constantly trying to do the best for your girl. xxx

Thinking of you and Sky today

Ginny was on Tramadol (among endless other drugs) post amputation. She was absolutely fine on it. I know some dogs react badly, but I guess that the majority must be OK with it. I hope it eases Sky's pain and you all find some relief.

Fingers crossed that Sky is fine with the Tramadol. My sister's dog was on it for the last couple of years of his life. It certainly improved his quality of life.

Hope the lovely Sky is ok and the tramodol helps her. So sad to think she is suffering.

 

[Atemas]

It’s very early days but I think they have helped her today. We managed to walk a little bit further this evening

 

[Candy]

Oh, that's good news.

Doug was fine on tramadol we also combined it with onsior and he had a great quality of life for 14 more months. Soloman also had his life extended by tramadol. Keeping them pain free is the most important thing they are able to live longer and be happier.

This is a rubbish photo as the light is going but Sky is lying next to DH who is playing his guitar - she hasn’t done that for a long long time - bless her, she must be feeling a bit better (Red fast asleep in the background)

Update on Sky: I am so glad we had those two days with Sky at the coast earlier this month - we both loved having the two dogs with us. Sky got to go in the sea - always been one of her favourite things. Since then we seem to be back on that rollercoaster but more downs than ups. She is very inactive, without any spark and even food she has craved all her life isn’t so so important anymore. She is eating and I hide her medication in wet food. Sometimes she finds the Yumove tablet and rejects it. Fortunately the Meloxidyl and Tramadol get consumed. We can increase the Tramadol and I think we are almost there at doing that. Unfortunately her toilet accidents are increasing - we have been taking her outside at certain times and more or less deciding for her when she goes to the toilet as she is not letting us know. Tonight I was putting my walking boots on to take her for her little toilet and sniff walk - she poo’d in the hall - no indication - just did it. I feel so sorry for her - it’s like she is losing her dignity

You shared special memories with Sky that will always be with you. I am so sorry Sky is not herself, you are understandably worried and upset but you know what to do for your darling Sky so trust what is in your heart Alison. Sending lots of love to you all xxx

It is so sad when they get old and have no control over when they poo, my daughter put a nappy on her old dog which helped. the Tramadol could be making Sky feel a little 'off'. I am so sorry, but she did have a wonderful time at the sea and that is a good memory for you xx

 

[M.F.]

I’m really sorry. Poor Sky. So distressing for you to watch. You’re in my thoughts.
