I actually used Benadryl on my Aussie after he was hurt before taking him in to the vet (he doesn't care for men much)...it worked well! I need to remember to try this on Wiley in a thunderstorm as she's terrified of them!

<p>John...Max is 35 lbs and for allergies he gets 1 Benadryl (actually Walgreen's brand) tab twice a day...with his breakfast and then again at supper. This is per the vet. It will make him sleepy when he first starts them around the 2nd week of August but within 2 weeks his system gets use to it and he is fine with it till he can stop the Benadryl after the first hard frost. But I do use it on July 4th..he is not good with fireworks either.</p>

<p>A friend has 2 Belgian malinois, scary-looking dogs. One will growl suddenly over trivial things, and it sounds really menacing until you know this dog does it predictably over nothing and will do no harm.</p>
<p>You can use benadryl for short-term episodic anxiety relief. The owner lives in a high-firework area near a reservation, and gives benadryl to calm the dogs on 4th of July. One dog got really upset with flies bothering a recent wound (shaved, stitched) on a hike, and benadryl…</p>

<p>Becca needs to be muzzled for blood draws. She was "red dotted" during her spay stay. She totally flipped out on them. Since then my vets office has worked with me to make her more comfortable. She doesn't need to be muzzled for vaccinations or exams, but I agree that it is a safety precaution with blood work. They have a party with her to celebrate behaving after the muzzle comes off. She is so much better than she was. I agree that you need to be comfortable with your vet. I am lucky that…</p>

<p>Linda, i have made a few friends here but only one person has a dog and that vet i went to was recommended by her. i seen her today and told her what happened and she said the vet i seen yesterday is always rude when she goes in but the guy, minard, is very nice and she has been requesting him. but after witnessing what i did yesterday i think it maybe best to just find another vet.</p>

<p>Rebecca....are there any other dog/cat owners that you have made friends with or just people you see walking their dogs? Start asking around as to who they use as a vet. If you get a number of recomendations for one in particular then try going there. That's how I found my vet and I've been with him for 33 years. He has added 2 vets to his practice...he is getting up there in years but the 2 women has with him now have the same attitude he does so I am more than happy to have my critters…</p>

<p>i was very offended when she said that he needed medication. i called the vet i worked for yesterday and basically said that they were wrong for making me feel dumb for coming in and that he never once thought baden needed meds. i wish i could find a good vet here like the one i had in AR. i just cant believe i was treated that way. it has bothered me all day and night and baden was so upset he wouldnt even lay with me on the couch which isnt like him</p>

<p>thank you, it was a horrible first experience for both of us. after we moved here i did see his anxiety go up but i figured it being a new place he would settle down and which he has for the most part. he dosnt like going potty around the complex as its always busy with people and the other day he got attacked by a stray cat so hes a little reluctant but once i assure him its ok he does his business and then we carry on.</p>

<p>when we first moved here if we left the apartment he would howl and break out of his kennel to stare at us out the window but he dosnt do this any more. he waits in his pen like a good boy and we dont hear him cry when we leave</p>
