Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 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. A barrage of tests at the Vet resulted in no specific cause or diagnosis, but possibly a stroke or a hidden cancer. After starting on LDN she began to improve and by 2 months was able to get up on her own and walk with effort. Continued improvement over time has been very slow, but progressive She has regained her strength to about 70% in the front, and 40% in the rear, enough for her to be able to get up and move about on her own. Late last week she started to develop an abscess on her hump, and on Sunday it got HUGE very quickly, even rupturing the skin. After initial I-V antibiotics, she is now on oral antibiotics and a pain reliever/sedative called Tramadol. I have kept her on 2 mg of Naltrexone so far, and when administered, the Tramadol seem to be sedating her as it is supposed to do, but I really ought to know for sure if there an antagonistic relationship between LDN and Tramadol. She needs all the immune system she can get right now, and I don't want to cut off the LDN unless it is absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance for any information.
