I knocked out my dog!


Well, not yet.

I got some knock-out pills for the trip to North Carolina because my dog Ellie goes INSANE in a car.

The vet suggested I test one on her before the trip to make sure it's the right strength.

I had to rewrap the pill in cheese five times.  She kept eating the cheese and spitting the pill out.

She finally go it down about 15 minutes ago, now I'm waiting to see what happens.

I feel SO guilty doing this to her cry.gif

Eh, you're doing her a favor. You're saving her from stress. She'll just have a nice nap.

It's really for her own safety. Otherwise you'd never make it out of the state.

Well, at least your dog didn't knock you out. I read Neil Gaiman's blog, and somehow his dog threw a pipe at him, or jumped on him while holding a pipe or something. It knocked him out for a few minutes, and he looked like he got beat up.

Yeah, that's what I figure. And I won't have 14 hours of a howling dog in my ear.

But I still feel guilty about the "testing" phase. She's just walking around, enjoying her day, unaware that in a few minutes she'll be unable to walk hmm.gif

That's better than trying it for the first time in the car and something goes wrong while you're in a different state.

I know. I wanted to test it now so that if she gets sick or seems TOO knocked out I can take her into the vet.

It's gotta be done.

Maybe I'll take the opportunity to trim her nails and hair while she's out. She'll never sit still for that stuff when she's awake.

Awe.  30 minutes in and she's struggling to keep her eyes open.

She's such a good dog smile.gif

Though, if you really think about it, this will have to be freaky for her. She's going to go asleep and wake up in another state!

I know right?

She'll fall asleep and wake up in a hotel room. Then she'll fall asleep again and wake up in a new house.

She'll think we've been kidnapped smile.gif

 The dog was fine.  It really didn't knock her out at all.  I'm gonna have to ask the vet if the results were good enough.  She was sluggish, but never really out.  When I'd call her to go outside she'd run to the door, but when she was outside she was a little wobbly legged.


Maybe that's enough to relax her and keep her from being crazy in the car.  I should have taken her for a drive when she was like that hmm.gif

Hm, it sounds like you might need something stronger.
