Fireworks

Can you get tablets to calm or sedate a puppy ?

Just someone has let fireworks off and Bruno freaked out by barking like mad. and now he's just walking about the lounge.

a vet can give you something to calm them but can you not try work through it with the dog. my mums dog used to like being shut in the cupboard under the stairs while the fireworks were on. my brothers used to sit at the back of him on the couch with its head under his jumper.

I hate them my girl is bad

Poor Bruno

Hope this helps.

Lola heard her first lot of fireworks last night and she was trembling and her heart going ten to the dozen, I felt so bad for her.
Think I'm going to make her a little den she can hide in, she does not like crates, so gonna stick a duvet down the side of the sofa, see if she will go and hide in there.

the thing with fireworks is that we will get them most nights between now and new year so we cant sedate the animals all the time. its lemmy's first everything this year so god knows how he will react

It as only the other day I lost Taz due to fireworks, It was gone nine at night and i was walking home, a firework went off, Taz was fine then all of a sudden he darted off snapped the chain lead he was on and the link on the other end of it tore my shoulder pretty badly as well,he disappeared into some nettles which i couldn't get into, calling and calling but he was simply too terrified, he ran again through the nettles and up the mountain, the nettles were about a mile long and 2 miles wide so there was no way i get around them or in them, especially when i also had the girls with me, I was half way between my parents house where we just came from and my place. I had to wait by the entrance and just keep calling him till he came back about half hour later still very much terrifed couldn't stop shaking and whinning all cut up from the nettles splinters everywhere, you could tell he forced his way through them for cover, had to chuck the head halti on all them because Cassie refused to move and Taz kept darting side ways to get in the cover of the tree and nettles, took me a very long time to get home and that was onlyafter tying Taz and Cassie's halti's together so they kinda comforted each other and got each other moving forward and i tied the lead to my waist because Taz done my shoulder in and my shoulder was too weak to keep taking the sudden jerks from him.

After reading that I don't think I'll be taking Violet out a walk on fireworks night! So far, she's heard a few, and just been angry at them rather than scared, but that is just the odd one or two bangs, not sure how she'll react to a lot of them going off.

Taz has never put that much strengh behind his pulling even when trying to get at a dog while in his aggressive stage or before when facing fireworks, so i had no idea the strengh he held and for him to tear ligaments in my shoulder was surprising to say the least.

Wow, Claire, how's your shoulder now?

Taz is still attached to my waist while i'm walking him for the past week, hurts to much to give the slightest correction so i'm lucky he's good at walking along side me and listens to commands. So the shoulder still hurts but not as much as it did when it happened felt like someone shoved a white hot poker in my shoulder and then tried to rip it off I actually vomited from the pain lol blimming hurt.

sasha is scared stiff of them,she shakes from head to toe,pants and cry's.a couple of years ago i had some rescue remedy(all natural)in the house,gave her a drop on her tongue and 5 mins later she was asleep,we use it every year now,works for her!

Well as the fireworks step up a notch this evening, so has Lola, trembling from head to toe and panting a lot. I'm dreading it when they get nearer 5th Nov

I also used rescue remedy for our sheepdog who was scared of fireworks! He used to hide under the kitchen table away from the noise of fireworks!
