Somehow the title of this thread got changed to emedsviaweb. It actually is about edrugsviaweb. They are not related, or at least don't seem to be. Edrugsviaweb did turn into reliablecareservice.com. My order with reliable care arrived yesterday. A little slow (Thursday to Tuesday) for having paid overnight, but I don't think I'm going to use them again anyway. Yes, order arrived, everything is fine, just don't like these high prices. Yeah, Tramadol is frequently prescribed for doggie pain. Apparently, dogs react quite differently to the drug. It doesn't, for instance, carry the same seizure risk in dogs. It works as a mild opiate for them, as it would in a human, I guess.

wow, that surprises me. until recently (i was told cats and dogs - i will admit), there were NO pain meds that weren't dangerous. small amounts of valium were okay. other than that - nothing. recently, my vet of quite a long time offered after an operation on a cat liquid nubain (swallowed, not injected) for a few days as what they had finally found to be a safe alternative to cats for pain. that didn't surprise me, since it's an agonist/antagonist - they use it on women in labor. dangerous for someone who uses pure opiates, but fine if you don't use them. i was surprised. i've had cats (living on my own) for over 30 years, and every time i was told there were no pain killers safe for cats or dogs. tylenol, for example, will kill them quite quickly, as will aspirin apparently. i'm not sure what the opiate deal is - probably the dosage is so small, it's not manufactured. i know dogs can be much larger than cats - but if they finally approved nubain for cats only in the last several years, i doubt dogs were getting much in the pain med area either. i've *never* heard of anything like Tramadol on animals, particularly human dosages.

Hi everyone, I'm putting up a new thread for edrugsviaweb, because I cannot find an older one. Perhaps I'm an idiot, if anyone knows where the old thread is, let me know. I just placed an order, got a confirmation email right away. Problem with this place is it's more expensive that Scripts COD. On Scripts COD, I believe I paid a total of $69 for Tramadol that came in only two days. This website requires you to pay for COD service ($15) and for priority next day Fed Ex ($32) and the total was $137. That is almost double what I paid with Scripts COD. But they're not answering my emails, so I'm forced to give this place a try. I've heard good things, hopefully that is still the case. If Scripts COD gets itself together, I will probably switch back to them because of the price difference. 90 Tramadol shouldn't be this expensive, but I'm weighing it against the cost of going to the doctor for $100, and figure it comes out to about the same. Gecko can you go to your first post and change the title up at top?

Oops, forgot to put up the new name, reliable care service. As for the use of Tramadol in dogs, yes, actually very common now. It might be a more recent development. Buprenorphine, and sometimes other agonist/antagonists such as the Nubain you mentioned, have been used with pets recovering from surgery. I take care of a 70 lb Great Pyrenees that has severe arthritis in one leg, and she takes 150 mg of Tramadol a day. It is simply cheaper to purchase the human kind at the pharmacy than to buy the same dosage of the same medicine at the vet, where it is overpriced. My dog was attacked last year by another dog, and she was on Tramadol after the surgery, as well as other doggie meds, for a few weeks. They tapered her down slightly before we stopped giving them to her. Now that I'm on a rant about animal drugs, the most common are NSAIDS similar to Ibuprofen. In fact, it is not harmful to give a large dog 200 mg of Ibuprofen. I was surprised to hear all this as well, but a lot of the veterinary experiences I have had lately revolve around painkillers. The Great Pyrenees is actually in a pain management clinic for dogs.
