Ouch, poor Sadie! No, I would not give her this human tramadol. First off, it's illegal for me to say you can give it to her because I can't see her in person. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. It's impossible for me to say if tramadol is an appropriate drug for her, and she could have underlying health issues I know nothing about that would make this a very unsafe drug for her to take. I also never recommend giving dogs a human pain medication unless specifically prescribed by a vet. If you feel she is in a considerable amount of pain, the best thing to do is take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her tonight. Otherwise, rest her as much as possible. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a leash only and bring her right back in when she's done. You can try putting a cold compress on her shoulder if she will let you to see if that helps with the pain. Have her seen by a vet tomorrow if possible or first thing Monday. Best of luck, I hope this helps.
