I am hoping this question is to determine whether your dog will be OK after accidentally eating vicodin and not to determine how many vicodin to give your dog to euthanize it. Deliberately overdosing your dog with a controlled substance (which vicodin is, at least in the United States) would be illegal on several fronts: drug diversion, animal abuse, illegal practice of veterinary medicine, etc. It would also be profoundly unethical - oral dosing of pills for euthanasia is notoriously inexact, very difficult to achieve and causes a prolonged, painful death.
However, if you are worried about your dog after an accidental ingestion, you should talk to your veterinarian immediately. Vicodin has two drugs in it: acetominophen and hydrocodone. The acetominophen can cause liver damage, perforating lethal stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal damage. The hydrocodone dulls the sensation of pain, reduces heart and respiratory rates and can cause hallucinations. The lethal dose will depend upon the formulation of the vicodin, the overall health status of the dog, if the vicodin was ingested on a full or empty stomach and what other medications the dog may have eaten. This will become a complicated medical question pretty quickly, which is why I would suggest taking the dog to a veterinarian immediately.

How many cc's of insulin would it take to kill a 40 pound dog?
The lethal dose of insulin can vary significantly based on the individual dog's health and sensitivity, but a general guideline suggests that doses as low as 0.1 to 0.2 units per kilogram can be dangerous. For a 40-pound dog (approximately 18 kg), a dose of around 2 to 4 units could potentially be lethal. However, it's important to note that any insulin overdose is a medical emergency, and immediate veterinary care is essential. Always consult a veterinarian for accurate information and guidance.

A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula. The standard dose is one milligram for every pound given twice daily. So for your 14 pound dog, give 12-14 milligrams, twice a day. (If the lesser dose works, all the better!)

How much acepromazine would it take to kill 15 pound dog?
The lethal dose of acepromazine can vary significantly based on the individual dog's health, age, and other factors. Generally, doses above 2-3 mg/kg can be dangerous, but toxicity can occur at lower doses if the dog has underlying health issues. For a 15-pound dog, this translates to approximately 14-20 mg, although even lower amounts can cause severe side effects. It's crucial to consult a veterinarian for accurate dosing and to ensure the safety of your pet.
