How to time twice-daily tramadol doses for dog eye ulcer pain?

Question

Hi lily was diagnosed with an eye ulcer today and as well as drops I was given 10mg tramadol for her pain I was told to give her 1 twice daily She had her first at 1pm this afternoon when could I give her a second tonight? How many hours should they be apart please ? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 7 years and 7 months old | 14.5 lbs

Twice a day usually means every 12 hrs. Since this is a very small amount of tramadol, you can give her the second dose this evening. FIgure out when you get up in the morning, say 7 AM, then give it to her this evening at 7 PM, or if you get up at 9AM, give it to her at 9PM tonight. That way you can keep dosing properly every 12 hrs. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
