Our senior Basset hated tramadol as well...I used Vicodin in his last weeks.

I am sorry to hear this and hope she is feeling better. How old is Felony?

I think you are doing a wonderful job keeping Felony as pain free as possible. I hope that is what I can do for mine. May you have a great Christmas with Miss Felony and the rest of your family.Hopefully her toe stops being a pain.

Felony is almost 11 but she was diagnosed with lymphoma in Aug 2010. We started chemo but she was in the 5% of dogs who can't tolerate it. We almost lost her and she had several miserable days in the hospital. We started a different regimen at home: steroids, denamarin. and leukeran. The median survival time was 4 mths and we've had almost 16 great months.

She is eating pupperoni, freeze dried liver, and table scraps. She only wants water from the lake. The toe is less swollen so I'm going to stop codeine tomorrow and see if her appetite improves.

Thank you for all your help.
