You guys are too funny!! Methadone is not crystal meth being cooked up by all those old folks while in their underwear in their RVs. Methadone is a synthetic opioid and is used for pain, as is buprenorphine. Mona also went nutty on buprenorphine in that she'd race around the house before she fell asleep.
Vets use these drugs because they work well for pain. Unfortunately some of our pets have unusual behaviours when on them.
Thankfully Elsie is much better now and racing around the countryside. 
100% PURE JOY FILLED PIE!!!! BEST NEWS EVVVVER!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Since you didn't make a video of Elsie Pie imitading a big black beetle rolling we had to use our imagination
Elsie Pie, your Mum called you a big black beetle! Not very flattering! I bet Meg made her say that....yeah....Meg made her!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
LOL, Sally!!! Yes, that's a very good likeness. Only thing is, it's the wrong way up....
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...

It is used to help people come off heroin too though. That's what I was thinking of. It was just bizarre seeing it in Elsie's notes. I didn't realise vets used it so widely, though apparently they do...

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
