   In my experience if a drug is safe to use with a dog it is very easy to   
   find confirming information on the web.  If there is controversy over the   
   use of a medication in dogs, that too is easy to find.  When one finds   
   little to no information on benfits and concerns, dosing, etc then   
   generally that is because no one uses it with canines.  And that would be   
   very rare if a medication was both safe and effective.  My conclusion is   
   that it is an unsafe experiment.
