Torb/VAL syrup is the opioid Torbutrol(butorphanol) dissolved in V.A.L. syrup. It's usually prescribed to treat mild pain. The V.A.L.syrup contains B-vitamins, but is mostly added to hide Torbutrol's bitter flavor.

Torb is short for Torbugesic which is a short term pain medication prescribed to dogs. This is offered as VAL syrup. It is a poor pain medication as it does not last very long compared to other pain medications. It also does not control pain very well. The dog may still experience it while on medication.

Torb/Val syrup is used as a pain killer. It can often make the animal extremely drowsy so be careful with its use. You should talk to your vet for proper dosage for your animal and for exact directions for its use. Whenever you give a dog medication make sure you have it explained to you.

Torb/val syrup is a pain killer given to dogs, it helps them out considerably. Vets prescribe it, and the animal becomes pain free.
