My niece is a Vet and has recommended Benadryl or dramamine ( childrens liquid you can purchase at any pharmacy ) only once a day for dramamine, I use Benadryl liquid she also recommends this for motion sickness it makes them a little sleepy which relaxes my little dog. Valium 1-2 mg for a 5 lb dog which only lasts 2 hrs or Xanax 125 mcg ( human doses are 250 or 500mcg =.25 mg or .5 mg ) which lasts 6 hrs.
I personally used Xanax .5 mg on our trip from Utah to CA 6 hrs drive and it worked
like a charm it was the best trip ever with Bella. I would check with your Vet before
giving your dog anything, but all my Vets have agreed of all these treatments.
My Vet sells me Valium ( because he can't write a Rx for Valium for a dog ) it's
not expensive but Xanax works the best for my dog, you can ask your Vet if she
would depense some to you. My Vet says Valium or Xanax can be used in
conjunction with Benadryl, again verify this with your Vet. Do a trial run before you head out on the road to see how it affects your dogs..but when you take you drive
give it to them about 1/2 hr before you leave. Happy traveling |
