Is it okay to give my dog 1/4 Tramadol for discomfort of itching and panic post spaying (1week ago). She is very anxious and unable to sit/relax and is hardly sleeping.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

Hey, After spaying, some painkillers and antibiotics must have been prescribed to you by the doctor. Let me know the prescription based on that I can share my recommendations.

She has gotten a skin rash due to the glue from the bandage. That has made it very itchy. So she scratches that area aggressively and it’s starting to bleed a bit

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

You can give Tramadol but long time use of Tramadol is not good. To reduce the scratching of surgical site u can apply an e- collar to her. Hope this helps!

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

I suggest you give Tramadol for another 3 days, clean that area and apply povidone iodine ointment.

Thank you for your help Dr. Kaveri
