Cost Of Carprofen For Bone Cancer

Updated

Our dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and given 6 months to live. The DR. prescribed 100 mg of RIMADYL for him. [sheep dog] 9 1/2 yrs and 50 mg of Tramadol. I also take Tramadol for back pain. The DR. just said to give him 2 RIMADYL A DAY and not to specific on the TRAMADOL 1 to 3 or 4 a day. I don't want to over medicate him or under medicate him. He isn't complaining at all yet. He is like one of our kids and wan't to give him as much pain free time he has left. How do we know when to give him more or less pills as time goes on, and is their any other substitute meds that doesn't cost $80.00 dollars as rimadyl does for a months worth of pills. Thank You

Carol, to be quite honest with you, while I am very knowledgeable on the use of medications in humans and have access to a ton of information on medications for people, I know nothing about its use in dogs and can't find much information on its use in them.

Therefore, my suggestion has to be that you should call the Vet that prescribed the medications and ask them these same questions. I've no idea on how much would be too much for a canine, when you should adjust the dose or if there are alternative medications available in the canine dosage.

I really wish I could help you more.

Is anyone else familiar with these medications for veterinary use?

Our dog is taking carprofen 25mg for pain and we have to hide it in food to get her to take it. What would happen to a human if they take the pill by mistake? What would the side affects be like for that person?
