My dog's ingrown dew claw: Can I remove it at home safely?

Question

My dog is 75 lbs so how much morphine do I give him to remove his in grown dew claw. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

Morphine should never be used without a full veterinary prescription or outside of the clinical setting where he can be fully monitored and assessed. This is not suitable for such a procedure and should not be attempted. Morphine alone will not give sufficient pain relief or sedation for this procedure but would have significant risks of severe vomiting, reduced respiration and possible blood pressure effects. If it is too painful to be clipped while conscious he should be assessed by your vet and sedated under supervision
