Have you tried Rescue Remedy for Pets? It is a non prescription all natural tonic like preparation that calms most pets. It is also made in a different form for humans.
My daughter has used it on her very neurotic cat and has had great results. You can put a few drops directly in the mouth or in their water. If his anxiety is because he is young and nervous you may be able to taper him off it after a while. Once is has settled down he may be just fine.
My daughter got it from Amazon but I know that many pet supply places sell it. It's worth a try. Since it is all natural it is not habit forming in any way. They don't really get sleepy, they just relax. My other daughter used it on 3 of her cats when she went on a 2 day car trip as she was relocating. She said they never made a peep even through they hate car travel. Yes, it is for dogs also. |
