PROZAC FOR CATS AND DOGS ???

PILL POPPING PETS
According to an article written by Carla Hall that appears in the LATimes today, “The use of antidepressants is another example of the growing sophistication of medical care available to animals and willingly financed by owners who see pets as cherished companions.”

Yeah, sophisticated medical treatments like debarking dogs… What the hell is happening here… first themselves… then their kids… and now their pets… Who or WHAT won’t the baby-boomers prescribe PROZAZ to?

I guess they saw my article about being sad the other day…

Hall also mentions LV Carriers in her LA Times article today, and goes on to write, “Veterinarians who prescribe psychoactive drugs insist they are not Dr. Feelgoods for the animal set. They do medical work-ups on animals, they say, to rule out physical causes for destructive or neurotic actions and prefer to use behavior modification instead of — or, at least, along with — drug therapy. Sometimes they have to deflate the expectations of owners eager to place their pets on antidepressants.”

We’ve heard this story before, just different players… Chihuahuas BEWARE… They’ll be popping out the Ritalin next.
