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.
