Hydromorphone is typically only used in the veterinary clinic due to both its controlled substance status as well as the need to administer it via injection. Side effects can include lowered heart rate and respiratory rate (which may be confounded by the decreased rate due to relief of pain), drooling, panting, whining, lethargy and torpor. Some breeds, such as Greyhounds, tend to be very sensitive to the side effects of hydromorphone, so it is not recommended for use in those breeds.

∙ 14y agoAccording to an online search, Morphine affects various body functions. Dogs and cats may vomit after administration. Dogs usually defecate immediately following injection. Panting may also occur. If necessary, the effects of the drug can be reversed with administration of naloxone. Adverse effects associated with morphine include nausea, vomiting, slowed intestinal movement, constipation, restlessness, low blood pressure, slowed heart rate, slowed breathing, behavior changes and seizures. The most profound adverse effects associated with morphine are suppression of breathing and sedation.

What happens when a dog eats 1 phenobarbital and does not need it?
I have a dog who takes phenobarbital for epilepsy, and basically the worst that could happen is that the dog suffers some of the side effects common with phenobarb. Since the dog only had one, I wouldn't be too worried as the side effects are worse when the dog is taking multiple doses for a prolonged period of time. The side effects may include excessive thirst and hunger, sleepiness and lethargy, and of course ataxia which is the loss of control of the back legs and hips. The side effects only last a few weeks until the dog is used to the level of drugs in their system. So your dog may suffer some of the side effects but since it was just one pill, I can't see them lasting more than a day or two. Hope this helps!
