Sedative for Tux??
Tux is terrified of thunder and lightening. At the very first hint of rain--he begins pacing, panting, and jumping from chair to chair. We sit right beside him--but it just does not calm him down. As a puppy, he was afraid of loud noises (sweeper, mixer, etc.)--but that seems to have gotten better. But with sounds of a rainstorm, he is getting worse. He will be 4 years old next month. Thunderstorms used to be pleasant to sleep in; now, we know if it's going to rain, we are up for a sleepless night! Is there anything VERY mild that we could give him to calm him down? Obviously, I don't want to drug him! Just calm the big guy down. Sometimes, I'm afraid he's going to have a heart attack!! Thanks for any help you can give... |

Benedryl......  |
| ok this might sound way out ...my daytona had the same problem she is now 12 but at 8 we found out she had a hole in her eardrum!! also a growth and had surgery----- so any noice she would hide i know this is a very rare case.. she had infections also all the time that made it worse.. i just let her be now she run into the closet so i have made a bed for her in there.. |
| You can definintely try the benadryl, if that doesnt work ask the vet for Ace or in severe cases torb. |
| Maybe Rescue Remedy? It is all natural, and I believe that several people here have used it with great success. Here is a link:

We had good results from Rescue Remedy for my Beardie, Millie, at the beginning...but then, when it got worse..........she was on a perscription (can't remember the name but it REALLY worked.) |
| Thanks so much for all the advice!!! We had another sleepless night last night!!! My "poor furry baby" is snoozing peacefully now!!! I am going to try the Benedryl first...then check on the other stuff! Thanks again! I will let you know how it goes. Oh...he weighs 100 pounds. How much benedryl??? |
| I've heard rescue remedy can do wonders - and it isn't a drug. Couldn't hurt to try! |
| I have checked on Rescue Remedy. Do you know about Rescue Remedy Pastilles? Looks like it's the same thing--except in tablet (chewable) form.. Has anyone used this type before? I found it by putting in "Rescue Remedy" in the search thing--and it came up the same--made by the same company, and so on..... Thanks! |
| Do you crate Tux? Genevieve is afraid of storms, too, but when I put her in her crate, she calms right down and rests until it's over. |
