Re: My girl Cleo
When we took Cleo and Buddy out of that puppy mill, they were 10 weeks old in real sad shape. Cleo has a level 4 heart murmur and she had a fracture on the hind leg but too young for surgery. When she was 9 months, after she was spayed, they did the surgery. In laymen's term, they removed the ball that joins the leg to the hip and we had to crate her most of the time for about 1 year. Could not play with Buddy, no stairs, no jumping on/off couch etc. After that, she always walked with a slight limp. Last summer, it started to get really bad and the x-rays showed signs of arthritis and severe degeneration in both hind legs and slightly in the front right. We tried Metacam only but it did not bring any relief and that is where it was suggested to combine Metacam and Tramadol.
Although both combined together brought her significant relief, the metacam is processed through the liver and as a result, her liver numbers showed elevation compared to last summer. That is the reason we are going to try Tramadol only and it seems to work.
