No, please do not give hydrocodone to Prince, it is not safe to do. If his ear is hurting, that may be because he has an ear infection. I would have Prince seen by a vet first thing in the morning. The vet can confirm that he does have an ear infection, and can give him safe and appropriate medications to treat it. Please do not try to treat it yourself, you may accidentally do harm to him and permanently damage his hearing by doing so.
