That didn't come out right.  My vet says that the fault often lies with 
the vets who don't properly weight the dog and use the correct drug.  To 
put it in laymen's terms for me, she said that some drugs are so 
concentrated that it is easy to be off the dosage AND some drugs are 
easier to "bring the dog up and down in levels of sleep".
