I see it's apomorphine. I've used apomorphine in my veterinary practice for nearly 40 years. It's my drug of choice for poisoning cases. I get it in 5mg tabs. For a dog who ate a large bag of Halloween chocolate kisses I'd press one tab under the upper eyelid. It gets into the blood stream as quickly as an IV. 5 minutes after the insertion he's vomiting and won't stop til the stomach is empty. Only problem if he's not watched closely he starts eating the vomited chocolate. Sorry, no photos. I don't see how this drug could help PD.

The use of apomorphine to treat "the shakes" was first suggested by Weil in France in 1884,[48] although seemingly not pursued until 1951.[49] Its clinical use was first reported in 1970 by Cotzias et al.,[50] although its emetic properties and short half-life made oral use impractical. A later study found that combining the drug with the antiemetic domperidone improved results significantly.[51] The commercialization of apomorphine for Parkinson's disease followed its successful use in patients with refractory motor fluctuations using intermittent rescue injections and continuous infusions.[52]
