Dogs And The Firework Season.

[Tilly2]

Does anyone have Vetinary prescription tranqilisers for their dogs during the firework season?

Surely a dog could get those off with no trouble?

We don't get fireworks around us, but Poppy Dog isn't frightened of bangs.   They shoot alot around us, which I hate.  She ignores.  Our dog before Poppy didn't mind bangs either.  One evening I took her into the town with me to visit my son.   I had forgotten iscwas firework night.  Meggy  dog stopped to watch the fireworks.  She was mesmorised!  

 

But I'm all for fireworks only to be sold to those with a licence and advance warning of times and places of authorised public displays.  In fact I also worry about any wildlife and pets in the area of authorised displays.

Poor Sally used to pant, dribble, shake, be very restless. Aside from fireworks season, we also have the national championships here every August...she really suffered.

Leddy bird - I have looked up the dose Melatonin for children - doesnt work that well - and it is 1 to 2 mg.

so it should be OK

(no I wont go into absorption and pharmacodynamics - but a mere fraction ends up in the proper area ( brain))
