For me it has to be the story on CNN about Anti depressants for dogs.
As you know, dogs are very sensitive and don't like being away from their masters. SO some dogs bark during the day, tear the place up or pine for hours on end.
So now you can go to a vets and get doggie anti depressants, so theoretically, your dog wont miss you during the day time!
How crazy is that?
Dogs don't need psychopharmacuticals!
What happens if the dog gets seratonin syndrome?
What if you take him off them and he gets withdrawal?
Wont he be confused anyhow? I mean if a human takes these drugs, if it makes them feel wierd, at least they know WHY they are having side effects, as they know they are taking meds. They also know if they stop them, they can end the side effects.
But I think it might freak a dog out, you know, really mess their poor heads up.
The kids are sick. Now the pets are sick!
What's next?
Xanax for nervous bunny rabbits? Thorazine for psychotic cats? Electric shock therapy for morose tortoises...
