Florrie (11 year old) has been for a blood test and dental today and we have been told she has liver damage. She's had blood test before and it has shown up liver issues but nothing to be too concerned about.
She's been on metacam for jaw arthritis for 3 years and we were in the process of putting her on tramadol alongside as she seems to be struggling with the pain recently.
Our vet wants to take her off the metacam because of the effect it could be having on her liver and put her on steroid injections instead along side tramadol.
Everywhere I read steroid injections do not sound good at all and can also effect the liver?
I'm confused with why too. Is the steroid injection to help the liver and tramadol for pain?
I really want what is best for my old girl and do not want her in pain, any idea's?
