Hydrocodone For Dogs And Cats!
  • Hydrocodone is a powerful opiate agonist, much
    like morphine, that is prescribed by
    veterinarians for the treatment of excessive
    coughing due to a wide range of respiratory
    problems. This is a controlled schedule class III
    drug that is only obtainable with a prescription
    from a veterinarian who has an active license
    through the DEA.

Treating Coughing in Dogs
  • When dogs suffer from chronic coughing, it is
    usually a result of a respiratory condition or a
    trauma to the bronchial or tracheal tracts.
    Hydrocodone is a popular treatment option for
    these types of conditions because it effectively
    suppresses the cough reflex within the brain.
  • In veterinary medicine, Hydrocodone is regularly
    prescribed to treat canine respiratory conditions
    like chronic bronchitis, bronchial compression, a
    collapsed windpipe (trachea) and
    tracheobronchitis, or kennel cough.

4
Possible Side Effects of Hydrocodone
  • Hydrocodone is a powerful opiate, so it may cause
    some animal patients to experience certain side
    effects after the drug is administered. The most
    common side effect associated with Hydrocodone is
    sedation, although it is also known to cause
    constipation, nausea and vomiting in some more
    sensitive patients.

5
Hydrocodone Precautions 
  • There are some instances where Hydrocodone should
    be avoided. This medication should not be
    administered to an animal patient with a known
    allergy to it. It should also be avoided in cases
    involving head injury or active bacterial
    infection of the lungs.
  • Hydrocodone should not be administered to cats,
    as the drug may negatively affect the animals
    central nervous system.
