Fran, too much movement on your boy's part.. didn't they send home any pain pills? Those sure put my girl down for a couple of days.
Yes, we were sent home with six 10mg. Tramadol - one every 12 hours for 3 days. I'm not sure what kind of metabolism Kipawa has, but they don't phase him out at all!

Regarding the swelling, I am going to use some ice today, in a plastic bag and then with a face cloth over it so the ice is not directly on the skin. I hope this helps with the swelling. Will keep you all posted.

I hope Kipawa is back on the mend today! I wonder if the excitement of having a playmate caused adrenaline to interfere with the meds. I believe Tramadol is morphine-based, and it has always made mine pretty drowsy. Perhaps it will work better today when there's less stimulation.

Once every 12 hours isn't a sedative dose. Once every 6 hours does have sedative effects.

My guy had some swelling for a few days, it's not unusual. The exertion likely didn't help.

The swelling is definitely getting better and it is not so red. But darn it, depending on what position he is laying in, it looks like he is still intact!
