Can I give my dog calming supplements with her disc meds instead of Trazodone?

I cannot find any interaction reports for Trazodone with carprofen (Rimadyl), however there are reports that Trazodone has interactions with Ibuprofen, a similar class of NSAID. This reports that either increases toxicity of the other by added drug effects. Check with your veterinarian on whether he recommends giving the two together. There maybe less toxic effect by giving the Rimadyl in the morning and the Trazodone in the evening. However this is for your vet to decide. If you cannot reach your veterinarian I suggest not to give the Trazodone tonight and keep the dog in a room where she is not likely to be bothered much by trick or treaters.

Mixing those medications has potential cause serotonin syndrome. I would consult with your prescribing vet before combing them due to this side effect. In some instances it is needed but as a last resort and the doses have to be reduced in order to be used together

There is no problem with combining isoxazoline medication like Credelio with trazodone. It should be fine to give the trazodone as prescribed. Potential side effects of both medication include diarrhea and a decrease in appetite, but if you have given both medications before without a problem you’re unlikely to see this problem now.

It depends on what sedatives the veterinarian is planning to use. Do not give this medication without the approval of the veterinarian. There can be potential drug interactions. Call your veterinarian and they will tell you what to do. I hope this helps.

Yes he should be fine. I would recommend just waiting until the morning to give another dose. Trazadone and tramadol can both cause sedation so please monitor for signs of severe sedation. If you notice any vomiting,diarrhea or severe sedation I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic.

I can't find any information that this product would be harmful to a diabetic. The main ingredient is tryptophan, an amino acid that has ben purported to have calming effects. It has been used to treat mild anxiety disorders in dogs, however I wouldn't expect it to be especially effective to calm a dog that is acutely stressed by fireworks.

Yes you can give it with the other medications. Personally I’d not give Nico the gabapentin when giving the trazodone just to be extra cautious since you’ll only be giving it one night for the fireworks.
