What is the correct dosage of Tramadol to treat a dog with hip dysplasia? The dog is 55 pounds.?

I had a stubborn and disobedient dog.

The correct dosage for an animal is 0 pills.

a 50 mg pill. But I wouldn't use it every day. You need to use carprofen or aspirin. Aspirin MUST be given with food as carprofen should. 1 adult aspirin 2 times a day

So speak to you vet there are plenty of other pain killers they can prescribe if that is how your vet is dealing with HP.......

My opinion is that I discuss my dog's medical issues and prescriptions with my Vet. My opinion is that 99% of the people who answer on Yahoo are well meaning but haven't studied Veterinary medicine.

The other 1% are jerks.

you need to ask the vet this question

Ask the treating vet. As it would depend on the medical condition of the dog in question for the correct dosage And we cannot ascertain that not being qualified informed vets.

Whatever the directions say on the prescription bottle that was prescribed from your Vet. If you don't have a prescription for this for your dog, do NOT medicate your dog with something that was prescribed to you, and don't say your dog has Hip Dysplasia if your Vet hasn't confirmed this via x-ray.

The amount that was prescribed by your vet. Do realize that Tramadol is generally useless on its own in dogs and is prescribed in combination with an anti-inflammatory medication. Some vets believe tramadol is of very limited effectiveness in dogs even with an anti-inflammatory medication. I've had it prescribed to two pets. In my experience it is a completely useless drug with no effect.

Whatever your vet says, just like the last time you asked.
