And actually this may be the same. The calculation I just did makes me think that.
The usual dose is 1-2mg/lb.
Three ml would be 7.5mg which sounds find (but on the high side).
Four ml would be 10mg which, imo, is quite high and mamy be considered an overdose by some.
If you used the minimum dose (1mg/lb), she would need just under 2mg or there abouts. By the way, it does not have a sedation affect on all dogs including mine. I wouldn't count on it... |
Thanks for the reply. I figured 3 was too much. That's why I started her with 1.5mL to see if that would work. I think I'm going to try the 2 mL and see if that makes her sleepy. Although my baby might be like yours and have it not affect her. Shirt of giving her the Acepromazine (I think is what it's called) is there something else that I can give her to calm her down? Maybe some aromatherapy or something more natural?
