Does anyone have any experience with using vicodin with large dogs?

My German Shepard is deteriorating rapidly and in pain. She has an
appointment for x-rays, and blood work on 4/20 but in the meantime, I
would like to make her as comfortable as possible.

I have read that 5mg tablets of vicodin contain 500mg of acetaminophen,
which is toxic to dogs, but would need to ingest 7 X 500mg tablets of
acetaminophen to reach toxic effects.

I am looking for an alternative palliative treatment but I may resort to
a 1/4 tablet of 5mg vicodin from my prescription, if there is no
alternative. Aspirin is insufficient.

Call your vet and don't monkey around...

Billy,
How's your dog doing today?
You didn't mention the problem exactly.

I understand your frustration. It's hard when they are in pain and we
can't fix it.

She's on the mend. How far she'll get is anyone's guess.
Thanks for responding.
