I didn't give it to her last night, but she was slow to get up this am, so I thought she might need it. The NSAID is only given 1x day with her supper. I'm trying to wean her off the Tram but she hadn't had it in over 12 hours. I will try not giving it to her again today unless she starts showing bad signs of pain. It's just so odd because she's been on Tram even before the surgery.You didn't want to try holding off on the tram this morning (as it mentioned in the link)? Do you think she still needs it for pain? She is what, a week out now? Was she not panting before she got the Tram, but only started after she got it? She is still on the NSAID too, right? I'd think that soon, that alone should be enough to manage her pain. If she's panting again today, I'd probably see how she does off the Tram - it might not agree with her.
She'll get the gabapentin in a little bit, then I'll see how it goes without the Tram. Makes me nervous though, I don't know how much pain she's in or not because the pain and med side effects look the same!
