Hi and happy New Year to you all! May I say a heartfelt "thank you" to all of you who recommended " Melatonin". It worked SUPERBLY!
I did NOT look forward to New Years eve. Harvey gets really spooked by fireworks and there we were in a foreign country, in a hotel room, surrounded by fireworks, tons of bangs, people celebrating in the street, not to mention the sound of dozens of HUGE, loud cowbells ( the young local men walk through the village with those enormous cowbells in order to ring in the New Year. A most charming tradition, albeit rather noisy!). Despite this raucousness, my Harvey, suitably dosed with 3mgs of Melatonin 2 hours before bed- or rather "bang"- time was as cool as a cucumber. He listened attentively, but wasn't particularly worried. Mind you, I also gave him 2 Bach flower remedies ( Rock Rose & Mimulus), which may have helped as well. Or perhaps it was a combination of the things? Who knows, it worked just dandy. I would HIGHLY recommend Melatonin & the Bach flowers if your dog gets nervy. Michaela, Harvey & Rupert Devon/UK
