Re: How do you chart THAT??

Ha ha, I have a dog like Joy. She barks at a leaf blowing in the yard next door!
My mom takes Ativan for sleep too but instead I recommend on ocasional dose of benadryl(with vets permission of course).
The diphenhydramine will usually work if given in mg/kg. Don't ask me how much though but for my 9 lb pooch it is about 5-7mg. (I buy the childrens liquid and most of it is wasted as It is used infrequently)
It also helped my poor male dog sleep after his "demasculinization" procedure. He was getting pain meds but still whining and restless(so we blame him?)
Ok, I think we have strayed (no pun intended!) beyond the original topic so I will add my own.
"Pt told nurse to screw herself" nurse replied "I did that last night", patient responded with "well ok then"
