It is a synthetic opioid but can be used for chronic pain, so yes, long-term. It's cheap, easier on the liver, and can be used in conjunction with NSAIDs. If a patient is in need of long-term therapy with tramadol, it is often a situation where the side-effects of opioid use (constipation, toleranc...

It can be administered daily, but the profession is trending to more judicious use and supplementing it with other medications, like tramadol, so that it can be given less often. Not all vets are on board with this practice, for sure. Many will keep prescribing it as long as the dog is comfortable....

Subject: 9 year old Pointer. Moves a little slower these days. Seems to have a mild arthritic condition. Question: Does Rimadyl (or a generic substitute) really work?

A few months back our younger GSP (had just turned 5) started having blood in his urine stream as well as it coming out of his urethra when he wasn't urinating. After a vet's exam & various tests, he was diagnosed with a prostrate infection and given antibiotics. While the infection resolved, he sti...

With the number of venomous snakes down here in FL, most Clubs run snake avoidance training classes yearly. Both our dogs have been through it. Since none of the indigenous venomous snakes have been used to manufacture the vaccine, it's basically useless. I'd rather put the $$ into more training. JM...

I'm late to the party on this one, but as a woman I thought I'd still contribute my $0.02's worth...

Kennedy was first to insert troops there. Johnson further immersed us. I doubt that any of those who served in that war were particularly excited to be there. Their country called, and the vast majority answered the call. You insult those who served and sacrificed in Viet Nam. My comments neither g...

Slippery slope to have individuals decide whether or not a military conflict is worthy of their service when called, particularly without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. Ali refused to serve while hundreds of thousands of others answered the call. As has been mentioned, he could have been a corpsma...

Ali was a great fighter, but "took his punishment" I'd like to know how. At least the draft dodgers who left the country showed the strength of their convictions (to bad Carter allowed them to return).

Obedience is obedience.

Take a look locally for some obedience clubs. Start with the basics and move up from there. What you learn in the classes will give you a foundation to build upon when it comes to more specific field commands like "whoah".
