SOO my mom talked to her vet today and she suggested that we give him Acepromazine 10 mg and quarter it to calm him down to cut his paws. I just want to help my baby... but I'm scared to give him anything... but it was the vets advice... thoughts?? |
Acepromazine is a very mild sedative. I used to give it to my Bichon when we were going to fly. It doesn't knock them out, just takes the edge off and relaxes them. With a quarter tablet, you would only be giving 3 mg. I think it would be worth a try.
