Maybe Tramadol? It's a similar opiod. And it does only come as a hard pill that you don't want to crush (timed release). Some things that may work are canned cheese on it. or ask your veterinarian to consider scripting the original to a place like Diamondback Drugs (1-866-578-4420). They accept transfer prescriptions and can compound in a different delivery method (transdermal gel to rub in ear, etc). Hope this helps.
