No, the veterinarian would resect the tumor with a wide margin if possible and then provide accepted pain medication such as tramadol or Rimadyl. An opioid pain reliever may be provided if the animal appears to be in significant pain.

Pregabalin (Lyrica) is a new drug that has limited approval for use in human medication. Veterinarians are prohibited from using drugs not approved for use in animals unless there is significant medical need and no animal-approved drug is available. As there are other options for treating muscle pain associated with a myosarcoma or myoma, a veterinarian prescribing pregabalin would be doing so illegally.

What veterinarian prescribes lyrica?

Not many veterinarians will prescribe Lyrica, as it is a brand name medication for humans to treat neuropathic pain. However, some veterinarians may prescribe Lyrica for a patient in refractory pain due to a neurologic issue; this would be an off-label use and would require the veterinarian to carefully consider the dose amount and frequency, as these have not been established for veterinary patients.

How much robitussin can you give a dog?

None - Robitussin is not safe for dogs, and as it is primarily to control cough there are very few instances in which you would have a reason to use it. If you think your dog would benefit from medication, you need to have it seen by a veterinarian who can then diagnose a specific medication condition and if warranted prescribe safe medications for it.
