You cannot give the Metacam and pred together. You can give tramadol and Metacam together.
Metacam will help reduce swelling and relieve pain.
I can dose either.
Do you have Tramadol? You can use Tramadol, a pain reliever and Metacam together.

Nancy I think you have a list of all meds I have here. I also have 50 mg pred. Please can you tell me how much water to add and the dose. :thankyou

Do you have TWO 5 mg of Prednisone?
As I said you cannot give this with Metacam.
This will take me a minute after your response to write it up.

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Yes I do have tramadol it is in liquid already it says 8 mls hazelnut 12.5 mg ml. I believe I want to go with the pred. Do you think this is the best choice?

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Yes I have two pred 5 mg

Thank you for this info. I did water therapy on another squirrel that had the same thing. I might try it with this one also. Plus the meds

[Nancy in New York]

I sent you a pm with dosing instructions, any questions, let me know.:grouphug

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Got it thanks what about the tramadol?:thankyou

I have to tell you I am drawing a complete blank.
Can tramadol be used with prednisone? I think so, but
I sure hope someone else weighs in.

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

I will wait till I know for sure. Should I wait on the pred also? I just got it mixed up but not in a hurry.

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Still waiting anyone know if I can give pred and tramadol together?

[Nancy in New York]

I'm so sorry I had an urgent phone call.
Not sure yet on the combination, do you know Uni?
Perhaps she will know for sure.
You can start the prednisone.
You just may not be able to give a pain reliever.

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Ok I gave him the predasone . I know of Uni, but don't know how to contact her.

Let me see if SammysMom has her phone number that she can pm you.

[farrelli]

Didn't know if Uni's info was PMd, so I sent it.

Thanks so much for the info. I will call her. Do you know if you can give prednisone and tramadol together.

[farrelli]

I think so but ask Uni. I'm 40 minutes late to bed. So much going on lately.

[CritterMom]

Prednisone and tramadol = OK

Pred and metacam = NO NO

[Nancy in New York]

Prednisone and tramadol = OK

Pred and metacam = NO NO

I drew a complete blank last night.
I even read it on the internet that it could be given
together, however..........I STILL was unsure. :dono
Now that was a real brain shut down. :shakehead
Thank you for helping. :grouphug

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Thanks for the info. I did get some tramadol into Rocky last night. His bladder was very full this morning so I expressed it. Not wanting FV but I am going little by little . He did munch on a small bit of HHB . Gotta get to work now. Thanks for the help last night.

Praying for this little one.
He was so darned cute and sad at the same time
in the video. :Love_Icon

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

I have only two more day of predasone and still have no movement in the back feet:tap. Rocky continues to pee on himself. Any ideas for a diaper of sorts?

[Duckman]

Crud! Now I am second guessing myself. I believe Tramadol and Prednesone can be used together. It is Metacam and Prednesone that can't be mixed, but someone please confirm this.

Edit - Thank you Gayle. I hate when the brain locks up!!

[SammysMom]

That is correct DM.

If you can find a "Diaper" that he doesn't chew off, let me know. Anything I put on any of my babies, gets chewed off in 30 seconds. :eek

[SQUIRRELSAREME]

Thankfully he is not a chewer yet. I gotta find something soon cause he is a smelly boy
