To all those who have given me very good suggestions, thank you. And also, thank you for the well wishers about my back. |
You might need to change vets as pain medication is all most dogs need for injury. Once their pain is ameliorated, they are usually naturally calmed due to the sedation aspect of pain medication and the fact of the injury. Benadryl can agitate and have a rebound effect that excites/agitates some users after a while.
