Good luck to Cirrus and Sunny today. I hope the medicine works.
I would like to say something (but I don't want to seem hearless). I often hear pet owners say they do not wish to sedate their animals because of the long lasting effect, and then they try either giving less medicine or none at all. Well, I know how difficult it is to handle animals that really NEED to be sedated, and besides being very dangerous to the people who need to work on them, it is dangerous for the pet. If they NEED to be sedated, it is because they can get themselves very stressed. If they are stressed, they will struggle and during that struggle they could hurt themselves (as well as others). And not only by pulling muscles but by stroke or heart attack. Please, to anyone who has been told to get their pet sedated, do it. The vet will not tell you a wrong dose. Sorry for the speach, I know this might not have been the most apprpriate place to post this, but since the subject came up............................don't hate me.
Being a tech, I agree with you.
