Tranquilization/Sedation

Tranquilization or sedation is used to calm an animal under
various conditions. The animal remains awake or may ‘sleep’ but is easily
aroused when stimulated. Pet owners frequently request sedation for their
animals during travel, thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. Sedation and
tranquilization are not without risk and each animal should be assessed prior to
dispensing these medicines.
