How much diphenhydramine to sedate my dog?
My dog Layla absolutely HATES getting her nails cut. It is literally a boxing match to try and do it without any help. I have read that diphenhydramine effectively sedates dogs like it does humans. How much should I give Layla to sedate her
you need to ask your vet this.he knows your dogs weight and how much to give her.
Train your dog to allow you to cut her nails. It's really not that hard. just go step by step and reward good behavior. Drugs are not a substitute for training.
Sedation is NOT necessary and could be dangerous. Only a vet should ever sedate an animal.
'Julie' is right.you have created this fear in your dog and it is easy to train your dog to accept nail clipping without resorting to sedation especially DIY sedation
DO NOT give any medication without first consulting your veterinarian. Relying on the dosing advice of strangers online could prove dangerous to your dog.
The vet clinic that will cut her nails will know what and how much to give her.
Take her to the vet and have the vet prescribe you some ACE.
