Did anyone on here know or have experience on tramadol with there cushings dog. My girl is a 9 year old staffy cross and much loved baby by myself and hubby. However she has gone down hill since being on vetoryl. Shes under control but her arthritis has got so much worse. According the vet that is because she probably already had arthritis but the cushings was probably producing steroid like effects which was hiding it and self relieving. Now I am left with the cushings control but the arthritis not. Shes on monthly joint injections which don't appear to being doing much and doses of gabapentin which has done very little once a day and increased to twice a day as of tomorrow. I am sure if she had better pain control she would be more active but it appears its a nasty cycle pain not under control but cushings is. Less undercontrol the less active she is the more her legs seize up. Any advice help would be greatly appreciated.
