Hydrocodone-homatropine 5mg/1.5 Mg For Pain In Canine

This med is being provided locally for our 12 yr old Llaso Apso, who has intermittent intractable shoulder pain and spasms after two surgeries in the area. Tramodol and methocarbamol didn't work, and this med (hydrocodone 5mg-homatropine 1.5mg doesn't work until her second dose. Is that because it's prescribed at 1/4 pill and it should be 1/2...she weighs 17 pounds!

Hi Lynn,

I'm so sorry to hear about your pet. My only guess is that the veterinarian wanted to divide the doses so that it stays in her system throughout the day, instead of the medication being taken all at once (since that might be too much for her size). Your pup's tolerance might also be increasing. I would talk to your Vet about changing the dosage.

Also, have you tried any other methods besides medication? I know that lots of pet owners have found relief for their pets by using essential oils on them. It's definitely something you might want to look into! There are some pretty amazing success stories!

I hope this helps!

I had my dog on it for over 8 months. He had cancer, he was 16 years and 4 months old when we lost the battle thursday. I had to put him to sleep. I had just ordered his latest meds, so I have over 100 tabs that they won't take back. never opened. Anhyway They were his saving grace. after just a week the cough went away, and he didn't cough until the night before I had to have him put to sleep. Those along with extra support of cancer herbs and supplements, and a detox soup I would make him. He was also on a non GMO food/ Fromms. He got losts of herbs, and love. The hydrocod/homoa tabs though kept his cough and pain at bay. But I do believe the tumeric and other supplements helped too.
