I was reading your post about the expired sedative for your dog,it should be fine. I am a nurse and learned most meds have a long shelf life,usually much longer than the one printed on the container. The FDA makes the manufacturer put a date on everything I wouldn't worry about it. You can also use Benadryl that is what I use for my dog and it works great. He is a hyper little thing too, he is a rat terrier always on the go, my lab was way way more calmer. hope this helps.good have a safe trip.

love like you've never been hurt, work like you don't need the money,dance like no one is watching
