After playing at beach my dog was limping then was fine. Later this evening without excersize causing it she was panting excessively. So I looked at her paws and she has 2 cracked paws. I cleaned and sanitized them and wrapped them and put on a cotton sock so they can breathe (been through this before). She seems in quite a bit of pain. I have tramadol 25mg tablets from the last time she had this. She weighs 55 pounds. Is it safe to give her a tablet?

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Mitz. Poor girl! Legally, I cannot recommend you give her the tramadol, I can't say it's safe without seeing her in person. You should call your vet now to see if it's safe. I recommend resting her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I hope this helps!
