&lt;p&gt;As for the blood..... Got an&amp;nbsp; iphone or ipad? Some suave sophisticated chap has just created an iphone App with degu blood sampling video on it. Gotta be worth 8 quid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Theres also a tramadol dose for degus. Or go onto my website and download my free analgesics for exotics chart. the degu dose is the same as the chinchilla.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very happy" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Degu, shifting lameness</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/61598?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:57:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:11462583-bd59-433d-ae6f-69e9f8573689</guid><dc:creator>Tony Knapp</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you, we were thinking rads, I wasn&amp;#39;t sure if we could get enough volume of blood for anything more then a smear from one this small (150g), just getting second thoughts with the shifting lameness, but an aminal this small I think I can stretch to both legs on the same plate! Tramadol dose same as dogs? 2mg/kg? We only have the 50mg capsules, I think I may have to do some dilution maths, my favourite!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Degu, shifting lameness</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/61583?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:10:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ba76ac7a-7245-4424-a692-3a1f76e76b1e</guid><dc:creator>Mark Rowland</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Happy" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I suppose long story short:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ga, rads +/- bloods, or euthanasia if not responding to meloxicam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could try tramadol as an alternative, Whats the diet like, it sounds as though this may be implicated here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Goodluck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
