I've tried "conditioning" her- short daily rides every day for weeks, loooong rides (thinking she would evidentially adjust- NOPE! ( she did this for 6 solid hours one time) Nothing seems to calm her down. I have started giving her a little Chamomile tea about an hour before the trip. This seems to help some- it takes her anxiety level down a notch or two, I just wish she would take a nap and relax while we travel like the other pups do... do you think the benedryl might help settle her down somewhat?
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I would appreciate any ideas you can offer! |
I was told the Benadryl will take 'the edge' off so it may help Macie relax a little. Talk it over with your vet because the dosage is figured according to their weight.
