Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 There is no antagonistic relationship. That only exists with opiates, and Tramadol is not an opiate. So glad your dog has responded. I gave LDN for only 1 week to a cat of mine, until he started clawing me to death trying to stop me giving it. Ever since then he has been improving steadily and is now running about like a kitten, alert, skin looks good, eyes clear. -- At 10:09 PM 2/15/2011, you wrote: >My elderly dog has been on LDN since last summer when she suffered an >unexplained rapid loss of muscle mass, severely affecting her mid body and >rear legs, and weakening the front enough that she could not get up on her >own, or even walk if she was helped up.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for confirming my own brief research on Tramadol...Asking on this forum is GOOD confirmation, as there are several here that are quite expert. She has a terrible infection, it could still be life threatening, but she seems to be responding to the medications. I am glad to be able to keep her in LDN.
