Hello. Perhaps Trazadone will be of benefit to Diesel, but you really need to speak with your veterinarian before administering it. There is quite a dose range that may be applicable, & we would also need to know if he is on any additonal medications. Please talk to your veterinarian about this & if the Trazadone is right for Diesel, it may indeed be helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
