A study was performed and it has shown that tramadol is safe and effective for oral use in turtles. I don't know how much luck you are going to have with halving the medication over and over again and staying accurate on the dosing. Typically, if you were in my office, I would have a special formulation compounded into a liquid to make life easier. But, in general, the medication is safe for turtles and should not have any adverse effect when given with the sulfa. Hope this helps.
