Tussigon/hycodan 5mg For Dogs (Page 6) (Top voted first)

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

REPLY

REPORT

the syrup is available and has gone up in price dramatically. the capsules and tablets of hycodan and tussigon cannot be obtained anywhere. that is whati meant by not available. for those who honestly need the drug for proper reason then yes the liquid can still be obtained. some dogs however do not like liquid meds and it is therefore better to have the pills/caps which we sadly cannot obtain. for those owners of animals out there you can ask your veterinarians for torbutrol tabs as a substitute pain med. they are available in the 5mg size you are used to receiving for the hycodan. your veterinarian may still yet have other options for your bet based on their individual needs.

yes the dea is with holding the material needed by pharmecuetical companies to make the capsule and or tablet forms of the drugs so i did not lie. go ahead and call MEDS 4 VETS yourself they will tell you.

Want do you want? -- open sales of Opioids ?-- really, I don't think you are suffering by the DEA limiting the use the Opioid drugs but "if you need them" - if you feel compromised I would suggest you may want to have your drug habits reviewed by a physician but please don't open up the sales to everyone. That's what they do in 3rd World countries -- isn't that going well.

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.

do you have to have a prescription? or can you buy it over the counter? my 16 yr. old poodle has all the symptoms of tracheal collapse. but I fear if I take him to the vet he will try to put him down rather than write a prescription for his coughing. I have no options. please help me find over the counter.
