How do you feel about the introduction of Prozac for dogs?
Reconcile (Prozac for dogs) was introduced in April this year and approved by Federal Drugs Administration in the United States for use on dogs suffering from separation anxiety from being left alone for long periods.
Is this a good thing? or will it turn us into a nation of pill poppers looking for a quick fix for our canines?
EDit:
Eli Lilly, which makes the new drug, says that more than 10 million US dogs exhibit strange symptoms from being left alone too long.
There are some animals that need medications just like humans do. Before someone is quick to put their dogs on meds, they should be taking them to a animal behaviorist first for other options.
