Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • A tranquilizer is a drug used to calm or pacify.
  • Sometimes a mild sedative or tranquilizer is first given if the animal appears anxious or painful.
  • This tranquilizer is not meant to cause damage, however, but rather as an aid in repairing damage caused by various medical problems.
  • The standard dose for that tranquilizer is high enough to compensate, so the dog doesn't go bonkers during the fireworks.
  • To help ease this transition between and death, sometimes a tranquilizer is given first thus alleviating some of the above but you should keep in mind that this may not be how you want to remember your pet.
