Tussigon/hycodan 5mg For Dogs (Page 6)
(Newest replies first)

My dog needs this med every day for a collapsing trachia and I can't find it anywhere? Can you help?

REPORT

Both Hycodan and its sibling Tussigon have a shared common base. The DEA is with holding production right now. There are lawsuits out there in human medicine .
So even for those of us who work in veterinary hospitals cannot aquire any. Any and all compounding material has ceased to be bought or made since March of 2008. No one has any and until the suits are settled the DEA is not releasing any to anyone.

It is TUSSIGON you got it spelled wrong. I gave it to my 15 yr ld Yorkie until he went to rainbow bridge, and I am giving it to my other Yorkie now. My vet gve them to me but I break them into 4 pieces. He gets it about 3/4 times a day

I'm looking for it too! Drugstore.com has it listed, but is out of stock. My cockapoo also has collapsing trachea, and she's gone a month without her meds and the cough is much worse.

Please help us both! I am in need of Hycodan 5mg as well. Local pharmacies have said that there is a recall and it has been pulled from the shelve? My Pom has just been diagnosed with a collapsing trachea and Hycodan is keeping him alive. Please help if you know where we can find Hycodan or something similar? Many thanks for your help.

I called the pharmacy at my local Walmart to ask if they had Tuggisson and they didn't know what I was talking about. Do you have any more information? Does it require a perscription or is it over the counter? I can get a perscription if necessary, but I have to know what to ask for. Thanks for your help.
