Drug side effects
Exactly one week ago today my Rottie, Max (he's not quite 3 years old), had surgery to remove an enlarged spleen and to "explore" other organs and take biopsies. They found no cancer. He's seemed like he was getting better, until yesterday. The medicine he's taking for pain is called Tramadol. As it turns out, he only has one pill left, but we called the vet today because Max has been drinking and peeing a lot, and yesterday he became very lethargic, just laying down most of the day... much more so than in the previous several days...It almost sounds like he's become diabetic??? The vet said to stop taking the pills and see if he's any better tomorrow... if not, to bring him in... I'm hoping that what he's experiencing is a side effect of the Tramadol.....
I'd love to hear from anyone with similar experience.....
Thanks, Jerel
