Morphine for pain?

My dog is having pain from Blader stones and hip pain, he seems to suffer from pain mostly at night, is it OK to give him about 25 MG of Morphine Sulfate?

Thank you, I am under a vet's care but my dog is having bladder stones and he is very much unconfortable all night I have to take him downstairs to pee and all the vet has told me is to wait for the results of urine test to beggin treatment meanwhile he gave him Rimadyl for the Hip pain and also some Phenobarbitol for anxiety, but he still cries all the time, I am desperate ! I wish there was something that could be done faster to help him, so for now lest wait and see and  I will give him all the love and attention he needs.
Any more suggestions will be welcome!

Thank You

I wouldn't give him the morphine. It could constrict his breathing. Instead, take him to a vet. He will need pain killers specially for dogs, such as Metacam, or Rimadyl or something else perhaps. He will also need his condition fully checked out.
