Ask your veterinarian. Just like in humans, narcotics do not solve an underlying condition. Not to mention that certain felines, and canines lack the enzymes (P450) that break down drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc, which is why you see kitty vicodin or doggy oxy dilluted to extremely low doses because your animal could die if you are “self-medicating” it for problems that require veterinary care, I think that’s the best harm reduction we can apply here.
