Human Sleeping Pills For a Puppy?

[Bojangles69]

I bought some human sleeping pills for my puppy because a friend recommended it. Than I spoke to a vet who said not to do it. Than I asked somebody else and they said they did it before and thier puppy was fine and not to listen to the vet because he gets paid to say things like that and will recommend other things that make him $.

My point being. My puppy stays up ALL NIGHT and has been barely improving. So I dont plan on making a habit out of it but I bought some 25mg Diphenhydramine HCL sleeping pills and before I do it I wanna get some feedback to see how many people have done this before when they had puppies and if its dangerous and how much would I use. Im doing this because I havent had one good nights rest in the last month and Im getting angry and short tempered and have been an asshole because of it.

Im thinking about dissolving the pill in 10ml of water and giving her about .5 ml which would be equal to 1.25 mg. But than again they may be too much because she only ways 4 lbs and they recommend 25mgs for a human being (w/out specifying weight) Any advice on this would really be appreciated, thanks guys!!

wtf, if u keep paying attention to it at night it'll keep being active. put it in a carboard box as far away from you as possible so u dont have to hear it, don't baby it

[juju]

Don't do it.
A dog's digestive system is different from human's.
IMO it is cruel.

And dont kill it either !!! Youll never get the correct dosage, by dissolving it in water, And please dont have children !!!

[PrairieDawg]

I know how you feel dude. I just finished taking care of my girlfriend's kitten for 2 weeks and I didnt get a good nights sleep the entire time. The only thing that helped was I just ignored it until it was time to get up and if it did make me get up I'd give it negative attention so it wouldnt want to do it so much (a light spank and a scolding).

LOL, don't stress out too much. Take her out and let her run wild then she be too tired to run around at night...I don't know thats what I do with the kids

[DSM4Life]

Hmmmmm, lets apply some logic here. The vet who is classified as a doctor i am sure has a license to practice says not to do it but on the other hand your drinking buddy says "sure the puppy will be fine."

This is a really tough call

First kennel break her. I would recommend a ticking clock and warm bottle to help her sleep. How old is she?

Im thinking about dissolving the pill in 10ml of water

Throw some winny in there and you will have a ripped puppy that sleeps all day.

[Bojangles69]

lol you fvcks! shes barely 2 months old.
i run her ass all day, keep her active. than she passes out around 9, wakes up at like 12 and barks and cries till like 3 sometimes 4 which is when Im up trying to put her to sleep so I can get some sleep w/out listening to her bark and cry.

And no im def not having kids. I made that decision when I became an uncle 8 years ago lol.

[Bojangles69]

The other night me and my mom put some red wine in a little bowl and she drank it all up. Than in like 10 mins she got even worse, starting biting, tackling things and after like 45 mins she eventually passed out. So that didnt really work as planned. Plus Im not trying to turn her into an alcoholic. I think I have some morals.

[Dude-Man]

you've got an antihistamine on your hands, the same ingredient in bendryl. Your dog can't overdose on that in the fatal sense. We give it to my dog for his allergies.

Imma have to agree.

I'd do whatever the vet says

[biglouie250]

what type of dog is it??

IMHO its animal cruelty. if you cant be responsible for an animal and take the good with the bad you should not own one. same goes for having children.

[RuhlFreak55]

yea what type of dog is this??? if it's a boston terrier or some shit your screwed.....they never calm down....shoulda gotten a blood hound....they sleep all day

first problem the breeder should not have let the puppy go till 12 weeks(I personally prefere 16-18 weeks. She is missing her parents and siblings. Best thing is to put in a hot water bottle and a clock in her kennel to help her sleep. Also put some treats in her kennel and let her walk into it and get comfortable with it. Anymore hints just pm me.

Sounds like me with vodka !!!

Not even 2 months old and your giving it wine ???? That dogs in for one hell of a life..

[BITTAPART2]

benadryl is ok but check w/ the vet for dosage I have a big ass rotweiler and she gets xanax 3 of them and shell relax! id be knocked out for a week. calll a vet and say you are watching a dog for your mother and she told you to give her benadryl for her scratching but didnt tell you how much to give the og, then tell them the weight (not that it is 2 months old just the weight) and they will be able to tell you the dose. my wife is a vet im calling her now.......

[BITTAPART2]

the problem is the dog needs a lot of closeness right now too. BTW wife said not good to give it anything.

[Schmidty]

good idea crush up a 300mg seraquil and ur dog will never make a peep again.Not really i bet if u gave it about 2-10mg it would be out for a night.

[rar1015]

Why the hell would you give you're dog human sleeping pills??? Thats just plain stupid!!!!!

[biglouie250]

if the puppy is waking up in the middle of the night and crying its def separation anxiety.... have you tried putting a ticking clock and a stuffed animal in the dogs crate? supposedly it will mimic its mothers heart beat and will make the dog sleep better. when we first got our dog he cryed at night for 3 weeks. we just dealt with it.....ferber method lol.

can you drink winny?

[donniebrasco]

i dont think you should have got the puppy, your obviously not responsible enough.
its a puppy, its what they do.

[GeneticallyInferior]

can you drink winny?

Only if its specially formulated.

Sarcasm aside, I dont think you can drink winny.

As long as its safe I personally dont see a problem with testing it out. At a dose that is relative to the dogs weight.

[Snrf]

you're a cat. you just dont like people having dogs.

nah but seriously i agree with Donnie.

[Bojangles69]

STFU, do you realize how man human and animal drugs are interchangable? Hydrocortisone, ketamine, anti-biotics, all the same shit. Just that some have slightly different reactions.
Try a different response than your 4th grade default "thats just plain stupid!!" shit.
Some people put comfort before truth, despite hearing any real facts. Like you have done, which is pathetic.
Your reacting to something in a way that makes YOU feel comfortable but yet you lack any truth and make no claim other than an emotionally ridden comment.

Im looking for facts here and past experiences, you obviously lack both of those.
But thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.

[Bojangles69]

No shit. Again someone who has detered 100 miles from the main question/topic on hand.
I didnt ask "excuse me sir, do you think im responsible enough to have a puppy, hehe"
Im 24, worked at petsmart for 4 years, am very educated, and have overheard about people doing this but never got into a conversation about it thus I lack some facts.
And again, opinion are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all smell like shit.
You can start that whole "its an open forum i can post what ever I want" useless rant.
But fact is I know and you know what you posted is completely irrelevant to the topic.
And personally I feel "your obviously not responsible enough to have a pet goldfish" because your a terrible judge of character, you veer from topics, seem to have a tad off add, and have absolutely no ability to use the sophisticated side of your mind that says "hmm, if Im not familiar with something it may be best i just keep my f**king mouth shut" but instead i NEED TO SAY SOMETHING.. ANYTHING so Ill take the most basic, fundamental BS approach to the question which requires little to absolutely no thought on my part.
And you revert to "responsibility" from a simple question about mediciating a puppy.
Way to stay on track there buddy

[Bojangles69]

And for all of those who have managed to stay on topic and have offered some good logical advice, THANK YOU.

[donniebrasco]

you have issues man.
you want to medicate a puppy so you can sleep. you also gave it wine, thats clever.
and you cant see the problem with that, even though a vet advised you against it.
wow, you worked at a pet store, so you are really in a position decide over your dogs health. oh and you must be well educated working at pet smart, what degree you need for that.
what you gonna do if it shits in your house, stick a cork in its ass.

Puppies are hard work. The best thing to do is let her sleep in your bed. Usually they wake up and cry because they are alone. They are just pups and don't like to be alone. Especially is she is 2 months old, she us use to being with the mother. A ticking clock in her box is good, it resembles the mothers heartbeat and helps the pup sleep. Same thing with a light heating pad.
