QuestionWe have a 12 year old Bouvier deFlanders, 92 lbs. She has experiencing muscle spasms. We are Giving her rimadyl and tramadol, which I believe are pain killers and anti-inflamatories. Is there something we can do to help her that is natural? We don't like giving her all these meds.
AnswerHi Ronnie ; Yes, rimadyl usage can be very damaging to the liver over time. The tramadol is much less of a problem for the liver.
I sure do understand your concern.
