[johnbjohn]

how much diazepan can a dog take to calm him during firework night

[bednobs]

as much as your vet prescribes

You`re joking, right? Diazepam is for humans

[NazNomad]

I'm not being funny, but would you give your dog a dose of Diazepam based on the answers you receive here?

Phone your local vet, PLEASE!!!

237SJ, Diazepam is given to cats and dogs ... it's the dosage that's crucial, I would think.

This is a prescription only medicine and so should only be given to the animal it is prescribed for. It may help with fear of fireworks, but it can also have the opposite effect, making them more fearful and thus aggressive. Overdosing can be fatal and giving whilst giving other medication is not recommended, as this can have an additive effect. Please ask you vet for a suitable medication which will only be given after consultation.

I was given phenabarbitol tablets for Bingo to keep him calm and avert his eplieptic fits, I still have half a bottle of his last prescription left, this time of year they were brilliant for keeping him calm through the fireworks and i used to give max one too if it got really bad (he was alot bigger than Bingo). First year I won't need to do that as Max went Nov 16th and Bingo soon after. : (

Try Rescue Remedy, you could have tried Zylkene but you would need to start a course at least a week before.

Be careful, your dog may never wake up again!! Talk to your vet!

Why on earth would you risk your dog's life because for about 2 hours in the year he's a bit frightened. If it's so bad, take him out of the area to a quiet place without fireworks.
