Is it safe to give my postsurgery dog tramadol pain and clavamox antibiotic at the same time?

Cleveland<br/>
My 10 pound yorkie had a cystotomy yesterday to remove some bladder stones. I was perscribed <b>tramadol</b> for pain and clavamox for antibiotics. I'm supposed to give each of these every 12 hours. Is there going at a distance sanction any sort of performing or point to be solved by control these 2 prescriptions at the exactly the same vale of years?<br/>

I don't think that it would be a problem giving the two meds together! Your vet would have mentioned something if it was a problem. Your best bet if you are still not sure, is to just call and Emergency Vets office, explain the situation to them and they will tell you if it is safe or not. I hope your dog feels better and recovers soon!<br/>

Since I am assuming your vet gave you this medication, I doubt that there is going to be any conflict between the two drugs or your vet would not have prescribed them at the same time. If you are still concerned, call your vet in the morning and ask him.<br/>

It's best to space them out by an hour or two. Not that they have any problems being given together but if your dog has a reaction to one it is easier to tell what the reaction is to. I don't know if your vet talked to you about the cause of the bladder stones or not, but if not here is some info. Bladder stones are typically caused by poor diet, so take a look at what you are feeding and make sure it is of quality(no by-products or corn) Dogs don't digest corn, so it just makes the poop pile bigger. By-products are the beaks, feet, and diseased parts of the animal. You really get what you pay for with dog food but the good thing is the higher quality the diet is the less you have to feed. I have a 50lbs dog and his previous owner was feeding him 6 cups of beneful and now I feed him 3cups of nutro. Better food also reduces the size in the poop piles. I know this is more info than what you asked for, but I hope it helps you out. Best of luck to you and your furry friend.<br/>

Yes, you can give them at the same time. My dog just had two teeth pulled today and is taking amoxicillin and <b>Tramadol</b> at the one and the same time of life. She also gets theophylline for debonair humble airway malady, fish-hook oil, a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement, and buffered aspirin as needful for arthritis. And ay, I am allowed to accommodate with them the whole of at the selfsame time. I dash with them into canned nourishment abatement. see preceding verb court to make sure that she eats every part of of them. <br/>
