My dog needs this medicine every day due to a collapsing trachia. I have been told that it's not being produced anymore. Does anyone know where I can get it???
Thanks!

I also had the pharmacy change my dogs prescript hycodan to Tussigon which has hydrocodone in it. Found it at very old old family pharmacy in our town that also has a soda fountain. Get away from the chain stores & you might have better luck. I did.

I have also had a nightmare trying to find Hydrocodone in 5mg tablets or Hycodan or ANYTHING in pill form for my little Sheltie who also has a mysterious persistent cough. I was also told they discontinued it by everyone and now I have been calling every pharmacy in the state to try to get whatever is left. The idea of a sweet sticky syrup is not great for a dog. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THIS MANUFACTURER STOP MAKING SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE USING AND DEPEND ON? HOW HATEFUL! So, if you say that Walmart carries the Tussigon which is what they fill her prescription with as a generic alternative, then THANK YOU so much! I hope that they have an enormous stock pile, otherwise, I will have to have my vet either compound a similar drug or figure something out QUICKLY as you cannot just take your pet off of Hycodan without wheaning them slowly. I'll report back what happens since this is the ONLY site I have found addressing this issue.

Good news for you too- I'm glad that my little guy eats it right up in a little wet food- I didn't even try to squirt it in his mouth with a syringe- that would be a big mess! Good news to hear that you found the pill form and best of luck to you! :-)

Hi Shana,
I have a pom too and I tried the liquid (is it llike a sweet cough syrup?), but she wouldn't have anything to do with it and literally quit eating anything that I tried to put it in (even peanut butter). When I tried to give it to her in a syring, we had more on her coat that down her throat - not a good thing. I just gave up on it. However, I do have some good news, I just found Tussagon at my local Wal Mart pharmacy. My vet wrote a perscription for 5mg tablets and they are helping. I don't know how long it will be available, but for now she is doing better. Thanks for your help.

Carlene- good news! I too have been looking for Hycodan for my Pom who takes it every 6 hours- the FDA has put a hold on production, but the good news is that my Vet prescribed the liquid form called Hydrocodone- at first I was skeptical, but I mix his dose with a tsp of wet food and he eats it right up. It's working for us- Good luck!

No, I've tried them all and they tell me that they can't get it. It has something to do with being a controled substance and the FDA has put a hold on production. Why, I don't know and what are we supposed to do in the meantime???
It's just a terrible situation!!!
