Re: HELP - My best friend has osteosarcoma

The thing I did wrong yesterday and today is give him his pills right after he ate. That only made him throw it all up. I should know better. Drake has always has a sensative stomach anyway. It's been I believe it's been three weeks since we got the news about Drake and I am like so many of you just enjoying him and loving on him even more. Now I just need to use my head and wait at least a half hour before I give him the meds.
Have you discussed this with your vet? Tramadol and most other pain relievers should be given on a full stomach. I think you should discuss it with your vet. We have administered morphine, tramadol, metacam, tylenol with coedine to our dog prescribed by the vet. The instructions for all are to give with food (ie a full stomach). Since your dog has cancer, I would be concerned that the vomiting is being caused by the disease and not the drug...
