Dear Kismet,

The COMFORTAN people say you can give methadone on top of Buprenorphine without any problems. My question is why, if you have methadone on the premises, you would give buprenorphine at all? Comfortan everything, its cheap and it works really well.

The dog was transferred for post-op care from one of the practices whose emergencies we cover over the weekend; and the vetergesic it had had was clearly insuffient for its needs. Poor thing had several nasty injuries of unknown origin, one of which had penetrated the lateral chest.

Well I gave the methadone without waiting and it worked. He's much happier and has now gone home :0))

in a similar vein I have been told that if you've given don-torb for sedation you can give after you reverse without any probs

I've been told recently that you can use morphine at the same time as buprenorphine as there are enough 'receptors' available still for the morphine to take effect, so I don't wait 4-6 hours now.

Hope someone confirms this
