rear leg on a 15 yr old, 8kg mix breed. I just moved to The Netherlands 2 months ago and the vets here don’t give much info. They gave what they said was morphine for pain and gave me some tablets for later that are just everyday pain tablets. Also told me to clean wound with Biotex which is a laundry cleaner people use for cuts and scrapes. Lottie is not eating so not sure how I can give him pain tablets. Trying to navigate this with vets limited English. Any advice?

Why did Lottie have an amputation? When was it?
What is the name of the pain tablets? Is there a label on the bottle? I'm just curious so that we can help figure out how it works for Lottie (I assume a female dog?).
The morphine could be causing the lack of appetite. How much did they give you, and for how many days?
