Tussigon Hydrocodone For My Dog

Updated

What, if any, is an alternative med to replace tussigon/hydrocodone! Because the FED'S have restricted the dispencing, I can't an alternative... My Vet does not have any idea of any other drug that will help my dog.

Hi Larry,

Sorry to hear about your dog. But if someone as knowledgeable as your vet can't recommend anything I don't know what else would be considered safe and effective for a dog in the realm of prescription drugs. But as an alternative option, I would just encourage you to speak with a doctor/ND who understands how to best utilize natural and holistic remedies that may be beneficial in therapeutic doses as well. Here is a brief list of suggestions I found upon searching for "natural pain relievers for dogs" (However this is just a few of many options to consider):

Turmeric
Yucca
Cayenne
Ginger
Licorice
Feverfew
Skullcap
St. John's Wort

Researching these yourself, you should be able to find appropriate doses online, but I would still recommend taking your dog to a naturopathic doctor if all else fails with modern Western medicine.

I hope this helps!

@Larry,

What is your dog taking right now since tussigon/hydrocodone has become unavailable? And are his current meds doing any good?

Tumeric/Curcumin is relatively cheap depending on where you get it from. And I find that Swanson Vitamins tends to have some of the most affordable prices in the $2-$20 range for this product in particular.

Tommy's recommendation also looks to be a viable option. I found it listed on amazon for $21.

Not sure how much you're paying now, but that price range seems reasonable for what you get in my opinion.

for those of you needing TUSSIGON for your dogs just have the vet write for liquid hydrocodone.

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.
