[nagdu] Zylkene?

[Daryl Marie]

Sandra,

Jenny also has moderate allergies to snow mould up here, and unfortunately the air pressure changes this past couple weeks, coupled with the snow mould, have made it an absolute nightmare for allergy sufferers throughout the whole city.

Someone mentioned Rescue Remedy, and now that I have heard the name, I have heard of someone on this list using it for air travel, where either the flight itself or the pressure changes may stress the dog (here, the pressure shift is THAT bad at the moment).  Thankfully, both Jenny and I seem to have shown some relief this afternoon

That's kind of what I was thinking about the effects of Zylkene; though my research does show that it does NOT sedate the dog.  My vet knows and respects the work Jenny does, so I know she wouldn't give her anything that would seriously sedate her.

Daryl: I have never heard of guide dogs reacting to air pressure changes like that. Even if it can happen the treatment given to an anxious pet dog may not be good for a guide dog. , I would not give her anything like that without checking with your guide dog school. Most vets do not consider or know how drugs will effect the dogs ability to work safely. I wouldn't want her to be sedated in any way that might compromise her ability. Good luck.

I talked to the vet today, and she seems to think that that might help calm Jenny down while this air pressure runs its course. What do you think? I'm not familiar with it.
