Uses of Alprazolam

Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety in dogs and cats.

Specific uses of alprazolam include treatment of thunderstorm phobia and other phobias, separation anxiety, and situational fears (such as car travel and veterinary office visits).

Like other benzodiazepines, alprazolam may be used as a muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant or appetite stimulant. It might also be useful for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

The typical dose range for alprazolam in dogs is 0.01 to 0.05 mg per pound (0.02 to 0.1 mg/kg) given orally every 12 hours.

In cats, the dose is 0.125 to 0.25 mg per cat as needed up to every 12 hours.

Alprazolam is a mild tranquilizer used to reduce anxiety

in dogs and cats. It is classified chemically as a benzodiazepine tranquilizer. Other drugs in this class include diazepam

(Valium) and clorazepate (Tranxene). The dosage is typically .01 to .05 mg per pound.

So an 11 pound cat might take a single 0.25 mg pill for travel for instance. However

this should NEVER be done without a vets supervision. There can be serious side

effects. In some animals, alprazolam may cause a paradoxical reaction and may cause excitement or worsen aggression.

Can you give your cat xanax?

Yes, you can give your cat or dog Xanax. You should call your vet to get the recommended dosage and start with the minimal. Animals digest the drug differently than humans do so please don't think you can figure out what is best. Consult with a veterinarian first! My 85lb dog was recommended to take a 1-4mg dosage during a thunderstorm. I gave him 1mg and he passed out in the middle of the floor for hours!
