Alprazolam for my beagle?

Question

My vet prescribed Alprazolam for my beagle because he is extremely hyper and has really bad separation anxiety. Has anyone else used it for their dog? Did it work for you?

Answer 1

is that some kind of calming medicine?

beagles are supposed to be hyper, u should live with that.

Check out this article -http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/...

I can't find it right now but they also had an article about training, how it builds confidence and reduces the anxiety.  This is another direction you might consider trying first.

Generally a sedative is going to work.

How old is the dog?
