Default Thundershirt?

I don't know about Benadryl liquid. I'm sure someone here does!

Our dog's vet (her previous owner's vet, not ours actually) gave us Acepromazine, 2.5 mg. It's a tablet split into quarters, which is crazy small. I don't particularly like this class of medications (the 'zines' are basically major tranquilizers) so I'd like to not use it. She is only a little sleepy on it, but more than I'd like.

We need to do something though. We can take short trips without meds, 30-60 minutes is a breeze. 2 weeks ago, we took a 90 minute drive and she was fine the whole way and then threw up literally just as we arrived. She didn't throw up on the way home though, oddly enough.

This weekend, we will be going about 4 hours away and we are going to try the Thundershirt. This is a trip we take often, so it would be great to have an alternative. I'll post afterwards about how it went, lol.
