My dog has accidents on Temaril-P. Can I stop it after 3 days?

Question

My dog has been on half a Temaril-P pill twice a day for 3 days for coughing casued by a tracheal tube used while getting her teeth cleaned. It is causing her to have potty accidents in the house and she is no longer coughing so I dont want ro give her thw final half a pill. I have read that dogs should be slowly tapered off of Temaril-P. Does that apply to hwr even though she has only been taking it for 3 days? She is a 6.5 pound chihuahua. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 9 years and 6 months old | 6.6 lbs

On short=term use it is not necessary to taper off the Temaril-P. Check with your veterinarian though. I would still finish the prescribed course, as this medication also takes inflammation and that could still be present after the coughing stops.
