What over the counter medication can be used safely for canine sedation?
As recommended by my vet, Benadryl is one of the safest over the counter medicines to give for sedation but it must be used according to the directions. For adult dogs you would use the same dosage as is listed for adults and puppies would use the dosage recommended for children. However, it is always best to ask your vet if it's OK to give your pet anything that's OTC or anything that you have never used on you rpet before.
Is doxylamine safe for dogs?
I assume you want to administer over the counter sleeping pills to a dog. There is a lot of documenation available for giving dogs diphenhydramine which is the same ingrediant in Benydryl and in most over the counter sleeping pills. So I recommend sticking to Benydryl or an OTC sleeping pill with diphenhydramine and not expiramenting with doxylamanine. Benydryl dosage should be 1 mg for every 10lbs of dog. A 20lb dog should take 2mg of diphenhydramine.
What home pains remedy can i give a dog?
Nothing - if you try to give your dog human medication for pain you may very well end up killing him. If you think your dog is in pain and could use some pain medication, you should take him to the vet for an examination.Important notice:Most painkillers for humans contain substances that will cause the livers and kidneys of dogs and cats to fail, and ultimately a painful death. Do not give your pet ibuprofen, paracetamol, or any other common painkiller for humans!
