So squirt went to the vet today. It went SO much better then i thought it would go but we decided to sedate her to the point of being awake but it reminded me of a drunk frat boy. Turns out she is sedative resistant. We also discovered if they do the initial tranq shot in her neck instead of her back end she is better.

So my vet has decided that we are going to sedate her but every time use a slightly smaller dose to hopefully get her to have a good outlook at the vet. I have never heard of doing this with dogs but its an extremely common method of dealing with horses and im willing to give it a shot.

She was so drugged she could barely walk but still went after a golden retriever that invaded her space in the lobby of the vet office.

All together its the best vet visit she has had in 6 years

I wonder if you could use any of the CBD calming agents before going to assist with anxiety? I've considered using them for mine during fireworks season. I feed one of mine melatonin during storms. Kenzi, my female, is hugely dog aggressive. I always wait with her outside and then they take me in the back door once they clear everyone out of the way so we can go directly to the exam room.

My vet said its not anxiety that its a panic attack he didnt reccomend cbd because she has sedation resistants and that if she could barely walk but still wanted to attack another dog. And she could barely walk but was still ready for a fight. And my vet is very pro cbd they sell it at the office but he didnt think it would work

I've got Lach on CBD for seizures. It does seem to have a slight calming effect but nothing that would really help with vet visits. For the vet he gets a couple of Trazadones and then he's pretty chill (for him).
