I gave my boy an Ace last night too.  He just shakes at the fire works and it is safer for his health to keep him calm. lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 11:51 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: 4th of July I HATE IT!!!!! Kathy, all drugs have dangers associated with them. Sissy spent 6 weeks on Ace hile her hock healed from an abscess removal. There was no other way to deal ith her need to rest and be crated and still have other dogs in the house. It as hard on her and all of us. One evening on it will not harm her. She may have a longer 1/2 life of it han others, but she comes out fine. She was retarded before the 6 weeks, she id not mature in that time, but she is always getting a little better. By the time she is 3 years she may be as smart as her sibs. sheila inehillgsds@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 7/5/2007 11:07:49 A.M.

Sheesh....careful w/ ace...from the insert: "Adverse Effects/Warnings - Acepromazineâ��s effect on blood pressure hypotension) is well described and an important consideration in therapy. This ffect is thought to be mediated by both central mechanisms and also through the lpha-adrenergic actions of the drug. Cardiovascular collapse (secondary to radycardia and hypotension) has been described in all major species. Dogs may e more sensitive to these effects than other animals."
