i had a dog with ct,, i had just about every medicine for him under the sun that anyone anywhere said might or did work,,We battles for about 2 years, mostly good times but he needed to be put to sleep in june. i never heard of hycoden in a pill,,, its a cough syrup,,, you can ask your vet to write a scrript and get it filled at your local cvs or any pharmacy,it might be cheaper than your vet, same with the pred if your dog takes it and if he she has ct the chances they will take pred at some point is pretty high,, its on the walmart 4.00 list, i always got the 5mg for fife and cut them to the correct dose. I used marax for a time, hard to find but it worked. In my experience with fife its trial and error see what works and how much of it. As far as after the surgery your dog was diagnosed with CT that is not uncommon and usually has nothing to do with the vet,, when your dog is put under they need to put a tube down throat this often makes a BAD trachea worse,, or a ct that was starting to have problems but never manifested often does after a surgery. The anti diarrhea med works in the same waythe hycoden they both have codeine in it,,,, a cough medicine with codeine causes constipation |
