dear battlekat,-metacam is a nsaid,-tramadol is a synthetic opiod..-I am praying that your dvm explained this.-true they are both pain meds,[concerned about dosae]-but different/reprocussions for misuse-or diagnosis,--I realize a good exotic dvm are few and far between..--here is a link that I know will back up my concern http://www.medirabbit.com dr.esther van pragg [scientist]-and has spent her life with rabbits.-please review lots of valuable info---sincerely james waller from the other kent-usa
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my point about the pain relief.
Lola has potential kidney problems which is why we've now fully switched to the tramadol from metacam but I'm confident the tramadol was more effective for her based on how much her appetite and general demeanour picked up when we put her on it.
She's at a fairly low dose for her size according to medirabbit.
Beth, I should have said that the tramadol may not be necessary if the metacam does the job. How is Wilbur today?
