When I took Scout to the vet last week, he observed her extreme anxiety and OCD behavior. He thought that a sedative, like xanax or prozac, might help calm her and help her avoid relapse. So we started her a few days ago, and so far she's spazzier than ever. But the vet said it takes 3 weeks for the blood levels to adjust to the drug . . .
So, my poor pup's on prozac! My prayer is that it relieves her separation anxiety and helps calm her during fireworks season. And that it doesn't douse her vibrant personality.
The picture is Scout mooching from Polly Carl on our ladies' hike to Triple Falls on Saturday.

Hi Shawna,
I have never heard of a dog given prozac. Is it really working?
Is the doctor prescirbing it for other dogs too?
Curious is
