I have a question about ativan. My neighbor is on it. She's 75 and going through a very hard time right now because her little dog has a tumor on his bladder. She's had him for 10 years and she's not doing well, at the prospect of losing him.

I paid her a visit this morning and I was never prepared to find her in such a state. The first thing I said was "did you take your ativan"? and she said 'yes, I took it last night". I said 'well, take another one". And she admitted that she is supposed to take it twice a day but she doesn't.

She is not coping well at all and I completely understand.

Her family doesn't know what to do with her. She calls them up and makes them leave work to take her and the dog to the vet. She refuses to let them do a biopsy on the dog.

I hope I didn't do a no no when I told her to "take an ativan".

I mean, she needs more than an ativan, if you get my drift.

What exactly does ativan do if it says on the bottle "take 2 x a day". She thought she could take it every 6 hours.

I explained that 2 x a day means every 12. There are 24 hours in a day.

She looked clueless.

It must be very very hard on people who are pet lovers to have to face crises like this.
