. He hates the car; he hates being in an unfamiliar place.....his poor lil nerves. We are waiting on Ike right now

. We have no clue what to expect about this one but we are awfully nervous

. Stay safe and take care!

You should try Childrens Benedryl.
I tried the childrens Benedryl on all of them on ride up to caddo lake.
my Vet recommended .8 ML for 3 1/2 lbs ( i used a infant Tylenol dropper)
I gave them each the same dose - they range in weight from 3 1/2 - 5 lbs. Lexi is pregnant at 8 lbs 12 ozs right now - normal weight 6 1/4 lbs.
They slept most of the way.
I also use the Benedryl for the 4th of July Fireworks - Lexi & Kylee are Very nervous on the 4th.

glad you are all ok... we are in Denham springs, and got it BAD here...

I am THE ONLY ADDRESSS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT POWER.. UGGGGGG....

MY puppies still have not figured out what is going on cuz we are still on generator power, they are so much more clingy than usual... THEN a Skink got in my bedroom today... MAN, how gross... and Tootie is STILL looking for him... haha

I am very thankful tho, that we are all ok and I didnt suffer any damage to my house..lost lots of trees but the house is ok..

Good Luck everyone, with Ike...

Thanks so much! My grandma had told me about that but I didn't know if she was right

. I will keep that in mind for the future.....especially during HURRICANE SEASON

As we were leaving for Gustav, stopped by the vet to pick up Gizmo's Acepromazine. Instead of the usual 6 doses that lasts for months, we were only given 2. One for leaving and one for the trip home. They were trying to conserve for all the other pets in the area and were running low. I used children's Benedryl on Bubba, he's 7 months and did well..they both stlled down and slept on their pillows the whole way. While evacuated gizmo was hurt and had to scrounge thru this tiny town for a bottle of baby asprin, so will never be without that now either. Heading out to the vet for scripts today. Good luck everyone with Ike.

glad to hear everyone is doing ok and yes!! Hurray for Power being on! I hope Ike does turn away because I don't think my babies can take anymore. They are finally back to their old selves- playing, eating, and all the doggie things that they love to do.

Let me know when Lexi has her babies. Hope all goes well for her during these trying times....

Keep safe everyone from La.
