can I give my dog tramadol and aspirin at the same time?

Tramadol and Aspirin are compatible (meaning you can give them to the same animal).

That being said --- I wouldn't give a dog Aspirin without a vet's OK. There are lots of dogs (especially older dogs) that Aspirin wouldn't be safe for.

It won't hurt him to wait a day (until you can call your vet).

Yes, they are the same drug compound. Why you cannot find it "for dogs" is because tramadol is only a medication that has labeled use for humans. It's use as a mechanism for pain control in a veterinarian setting is considered off label. There are many medications that are used by vets in their furry patients that are human medications that do not have a veterinarian version. The drug is still manufactured by the same people who make the tramadol for people. Clinical trials have of course been performed in human patients (if not then it could not be on the market), it is just no one has done clinical trials on dogs or cats or whatever in the way of its efficacy for those animals. There should be no major issues with your dog taking this medication unless your dog has some type of seizure disorder. Just give it a try. Tarmadol is different from most opioid pain medications because it is part opiate and part SNRI, which is probably why your vet wants to try her on it. The SNRI component can in many cases help to minimize the side effects of the opioid agonist component. Also, since I am not certain what the reason for your pup needing this script for, I am just curious if this is going to be used to treat some form of chronic pain or if this is just for an accute situation (I.e. she just had surgery, sustained an injury, etc.). If this is for long term treatment, then that is most likely why your vet chose tramadol. If it is for an accute issue, then was most likely prescribed because of intolerance to NSAIDs as well as traditional opoid pain medications. I can tell you that in regards to pain control, there have been some other drugs which have shown very effective for pain control used in an off label/investigative manner. Something like gabapentin may be an option. If the tramadol does not work out, or if you feel uncomfortable with it, then you can ask your vet about gabapentin. Just from a personal and not professional aspect, I can tell you that I take Tramadol every day and have no negative side effects from it. Also, after sustaining a Hills-Sac fracture to his tibia, my dog (whom i love like a child and would do anything to protect) was given both tramadol and Mobic for pain and he had no negative responses from either drug.

You really need a vet on this one as one of the side effects of Tramadol is fever. You vet might want you to discontinue the tramadol until your dog's fever is reduced. Also if you are going to take his temperature be sure to use a digital thermometer and do not insert it past the silver tip. If you are really worried then call an emergency vet, they are usually nice about giving out basic advice over the phone. In the meantime let your dog hang out in a cool place like the kitchen or bathroom floor and make sure he has access to fresh water.

Aspirin is a bad idea in dogs. It is not a good pain reliever and can cause problems with platelet clotting, stomach ulceration and upset, and issues with the kidneys. The veterinarian will then not be able to use a better medication for your dog (Rimadyl, Deramaxx, Meloxicam, or other).

Only your dogs vet knows what your dog can take.

If your dog seems to be in more pain please consult the vet ASAP esp with a fever, I understand that dogs get this with pain relief from cancer if thats the case call the vet NOW as soon as you read this as canine fever could have set in.

Call your vet and ask. The only reliable way to tell if a dog has a fever, is with a rectal thermometer. A dog's normal temperature is between 100.5 and 102.5.

i'm not sure but you can call animal poison control and ask 24 hours
