Lorazepam or Alprazolam is treatment of anxiety, insomnia, acute seizures for human and dog is also like a human and they can take this to treat them. But not the whole pill, just give them half of it or quarter of a pill.
In short, yes you can. Give minimal dosaging as bodyweight is the determining factor as to the proper dose.
Xanax has been used to medicate animals but this must be prescribed by a veterinarian. Giving human dosages can be harmful to your pets.
No.
No. Ambien is indicated for insomnia. Xanax is indicated for anxiety.
You would NEVER give a dog Xanax for sedation. Human medications do not mix well with dogs or any animals & can cause death. Check with your Veterinarian about what sort of sedation to give your dog that would be safe.
************( posted by someone else)Xanax is actually a prescribed medicine for dogs.As long as you have a prescription from your vet it is safe to give to your dog. If you are unsure of the dose or the current dose is not working, you should contact your vet to discuss your options.My dog is on xanax, she is 13lbs and can take up to .5mg a day.Just so everyone knows, the xanax dogs take is the exact same kind that humans take, my dog's prescription was filled at a Kroger pharmacy.It is absolutely not safe to dose your dog with your xanax though. Vets know your dogs condition and any possible reasons your dog could be harmed by ANY medicine. ALWAYS get medicine from a veterinarian for your animals, that is the only way you can know the correct dose to administer.After all we would not give our children prescription medication without discussing it with a doctor, same goes for your pets!!!!
Never never give your dog human medication. All medications should be given by a Veterinarian. If your dog has a medical problem, take him or her in to be checked out by your Veterinarian. You could kill your dog with giving it human medications.
Absolutely not. Ambien can kill a dog, and a small dog can be killed more quickly by it. Never give an animal a medicine meant for a human unless you have a prescription from a veterinarian specifically for that animal. You can give a dog BABY Benadryl, the liquid kind might work best. But remember that the dose must be MUCH lower for a dog than for a human, even an infant if the dog is a small dog. It is best to ask a veterinarian what exact dose to give the dog.
Never give an animal a medication that is made for a human. Dogs have different systems from humans, and human medications may kill them or make them sick. Ask a veterinarian what to give your dog.
do not waste your xanax on a dog. there are better medicines and they are cheap. they are also reccomended for dogs as a xanax could cause doggie withdraws or something. if u have xanax to spair i suggest you hook me up.
Please ask your question in the form of a question.
Do not give Xanax or any other medication to your dog without consulting a veterinarian. Do not take dosage information off a website where anybody can post an answer. Call your vet so you don't accidentally hurt or kill your dog,period.
Not directly (unless the dose is very high) but ambien can cause people to fall asleep and sleepwalk, and xanax can lower inhibitions. So it's possible that somebody taking both drugs could do something foolish like walking off a cliff or driving.
No ambien is one of the brand names for Zolpidem, a hypnotic used for insomnia whereas fluoxetine is a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for depression, bulimia and OCD.
