[nagdu] Allergies: was Zylkene?

[S L Johnson]

Hi Daryl,

It is great that your vet considers how medications will effect a working 
dog.  I'm lucky my vet is also very good.  Eva is already starting with her 
allergy symptoms too.  Also, if my sinus and migraine headaches are any 
indication then allergy season  has begun!  Some meteorologists say this is 
going to be a rough year for allergy sufferers.

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.

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. Sandra and

Has anyone given their guide Zylkene? 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. Thanks! --
