Acepromazine is a sedative that is used in dogs, but I typically don’t recommend it for situations where a dog might be fearful. I also don’t know the tablet size so it’s hard to say if 1.5 tablets would be safe for a dog Bella’s size. I would recommend contacting your vet before giving any medication - they might recommend a different sedative if she is anxious or fearful during vet visits, or they may want to go ahead and examine her first to make sure medication is safe for her.
