From what I have read, many online sites by LAYMEN States that one should not give cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) to dogs.

Some even cite the Merck Veterinarian Manual... however when I referenced it, I found where it discussed OVERDOSE treatments for Flexeril (and other muscle relaxant drugs).

One more formal and official site actually has Flexeril listed as one of its top pain relief medications.

Hi Kim,

From what I could gather, Cyclobenzaprine is not regularly used in veterinary medicine. I'm not sure why that is, but for this reason I'd encourage you to take her to your nearest vet and have her checked out in person, so she can receive the right kind of care or treatment that will nurse her back to health.

Other comments I've read, took care to mentioned that Methocarbamol was generally the muscle relaxant of choice for use in dogs and cats. Perhaps you can ask your vet about that option as well.

I hope this helps!
