Can my senior dog with arthritis take fish oil with Tramadol?

Question

Please help. My 14 year old englis springer spaniel has arthritis and her back legs are starting to cross inwards when out walking. She cant walk very far. She is on 100mg tramadol every 12 hours. Please is there any natural fish oils she can take with tramadol. Thank you so much in advance Jane.

Poor Millie! It sounds like she may need to also be on steroid if her legs are crossing as she walks. You can talk to your vet about whether or not she is a candidate for that. You can also add in some joint supplements. I like dasuquin and flexadin w/ UCII. You can give both but they must be separated by 12 hours. Also, if you have a veterinary acupuncturist in your area, they have shown great promise in helping arthritic dogs to become more mobile and less painful. I hope this helps!
