As the pack begins Day Three of Project SOK, Girl came across this article announcing the availability of a separation anxiety drug for dogs, from the makers of Prozac. Called Reconcile, the beef-flavored tablet contains the same anti-depression compound used in the famous human drug. According to the article Reconcile will be sold with a behavior modification program. Girl wonders if that consists of a generic paper slip of tips, or a personalized program? No way could Project SOK have happened without a one-on-one house call session with the behaviorist. Every dog is different. But Canadian dogs won't have a chance to sniff it out until 2008 anyway (wah wah wah). There is another drug called Clomicalm that has already been on the market here and has been recommended by animal behaviorists and veterinarians under certain circumstances.
Would Girl give Ribsy anti-depressant meds? Only, and only if, that was the absolutely final resort and meant the difference between keeping him and losing him.
