Did you ever give your dog Calmivet and then seen the poor creature seeming ready to die?

I gave the little soul the recommended dosage to prepare for a long trip(which I finally did not take the dog on) and she ended up looking ready to pass out, keel over and die. I have decided never to use tranquilizers again! Any similar experiences?

Calimvet’s active ingredient is acepromazine, a powerful sedative and it has got side effects like sedation, wobbly walking, sleeping, droopy red eyelids etc. Seriously, don’t worry, she will be fine once the drug wears off ( may in 6–10 hours). It is best to place her in a safe place, where she can’t fall and injure herself. I too would recommend not giving dogs tranquilizers. Meanwhile you can consult your vet for details.
Ace has a huge dose range for efficacy, and also has a huge safety range. But most veterinarians recommend trying a half dose a week or so before travel to see how it affects the animal.
