I fed my horse equi feast bombproofing and then I fed him a few drops of sedalin will it hurt him please im really worried
Sedalin contains acepromazine, which is a commonly used horse tranquilizer, and, depending on the dose, the effects should wear off in 6-24 hours. Bombproof is a supplement that contains tryptophan to try to help with calming and is not a prescription sedative. I would not routinely use these products together, but it should be ok once. If you see that Tally seems overly sedate to the point where he could harm himself, I recommend that he be seen by a vet immediately. Until the sedation from the combination of these products wears off, he should not be worked or ridden.

Our dog Snowden was given Acepromazine for anxiety. The dose was 1 1/2 - 2 pills 2 hours before vet appointment. We gave her 1 pill at 11:00 am. By 12 pm, she couldn't walk. She is laying in the yard, and we can't pick her up because she growls at
Hello. It is unlikely that this dose will be fatal, but this is an indication that she cannot tolerate this medication. Sedatives can be very unpredictable in dogs, so much care & thought must be given before administering them. If you can get her to the vet, that would be best. To avoid being bitten, ask to borrow a muzzle from your vet, or go ahead & purchase one. If you cannot do this, then you will just have to let the ace wear off, which can take 24 hours. Just make sure she is not lying in the damp or in bad weather. If you need to get her to the vet, next time you might talk about using something like Trazodone to calm her anxieties, or just a tiny dose of the ace. You will still probably need to muzzle her, but better safe than sorry. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

my new vet recommend this medicine to make my violent rescue cat quite but I’m not sure what’s the Consequences if I used it? Can you help me
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In general, the active ingredient in this product (acepromazine) is safe for otherwise healthy pets. The main adverse reactions are sleepiness for an extended period of time (like 12-24 hours), and low blood pressure. Always try the low end of the dose range first, and if that is not sufficient, increase the dose. Use as directed on the box or by your veterinarian to make it as safe as possible. This drug is meant for occasional use (like a trip to the vet). I would not recommend it for daily use (except in short term cases like for a few days after a surgery when the patient needs to stay quiet). Hope this helps and best of luck to you and you cat!

Wife left marquis for horses in car overnight at work, temperature recommendation is temp over 59 degrees...temp in car was at an estimated 45-50 degrees for several hours, what should we do with it?
I think the most reliable source to answer this question would be Merial who manufactures this medication. Call 1-888-MERIAL1, option 2, option 4. This will prioritize and transfer your message to the appropriate party.

My 85 pound dog ate 35 mg of acepromazine instead of 25 mg. Is she okay? Will she be okay?
Not to worry! 35mg of acepromazine is still within a normal dosage range for a dog Botticelli's size. She may be extra groggy and have a longer nap than usual, but there should be no other detrimental effects. :-)
