they are male (6) and female (a little under 6 months).
we're moving to canada, and wonder what would be the best way to get them there with the least amount of stress, especially since my pup cannot handle even a ten minute car ride. she spews.
i heard that you can sedate them, is this true.
(plus the male reallllly likes the female as they have not had any surgery, as we plan to breed later, so we don't want them to mate)
(we plan to fly out next march, when she'll be in heat)
Answers:
You cannot "sedate" the dogs for 6 hours. However, they can be tranquilised with:
- ACP (dogs wont move much but can hear and see everything)
- Valium. (Safer and nicer for the dogs as dont hear and see much anymore: dont get scared)
This will not avoid them mating if they feel like it, so separation seems necessary. I recommend not to use the anti-heat treatment as those may trigger uterine infections along with other side effects: separate the dogs for 2-3 weeks is the only acceptable option if we cae about the dog's health.
Enjoy Canada!
well, for a start you can give her some pills when she comes into season, so they dont mate, (its best to wait till shes 2 anyway)
have a chat with your vet about sedating them, dont they have to go into quarantine anymore ?? wonderful if they dont.
I used to live in canada, beautiful country, good luck in your new life
keep them apart by putting a divider in the crate so they can still be to togetther but Carnot get together lol ,your male will bark and howl because he will want to get to the female ,good luck on going to Canada (wish me and my family were emigrating) x
I would ask my vet for ACP (Acetylpromazine) for sedation. It slows the heart rate down but does not knock them out.
