Hi,

You can read more about tramadol and it's dosage, based upon weight, plus adverse reactions, here:

http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/tramadol-hydrochloride-ultram/page1.aspx

As you can see, the recommended starting dosage
in dogs may be 1 mg per pound (2 mg/kg) every 12 hours, but you should never give a medication to your dog without first consulting with your vet, especially if she is already on another analgesic medication, like Previcox.

I hope she's feeling better very soon!
