My pharmacy closed at noon today and I forgot to pick up this med for my dog. Is there anything I could buy at a grocery store or dollar general store that I could give him until my pharmacy store reopens Monday morning?

I have a few Tussigon/Hydrocodone 5 mg. tabs for my 17 lb. daschund...1/2 a tab per dose. I want to give some to my 9.9 lb. Chihuahua...would it be the same dose or should I cut the half-tab in half again for her?

Hi he would get a quarter of a tab so yes you cut the half in half :) I had a pom on it and he was 10 pounds so I know the dose.

This was really helpful when I first started looking so I'm providing an update for this area for how to find Tussigon generic is Hydrocodone-Homatrop 5-1.5mg tab.

I was finally able to find it at Rite Aid. They special ordered it for me -with a prescription from the vet. As of June 2017 it's $41.99 for 45 pills. I cut them in 1/4ths for my Maltese (collapsing trachea and enlarged heart). At the vet they were costing me $2.09 per pill. Incredible savings. Thanks Rite Aide! I had checked with numerous other pharmacies and they said they couldn't get it. In addition to Hydrocodone-Tussigon, she is on Vetmedin (Pimobendan), Benazepril and occasional meloxicam. Hope this helps someone else.

Re: shana (# 3)

I just received this for my older Pom on Saturday. Why would you say it's not available? I have 4 Pom's and my littlest guy at 6 lbs had a trachea collapse which cost me $10,000 in surgires. He's doing great but has his moments. I do a enhaler twice a day which costs me $260 to get it refilled through Walmart
