On 60 minutes one night they had a thing on dogs with Obessive Compulsive Disorder and they would interview the owners and all of them said the same thing, pacing back in forth for hours, etc.
One of the dogs actually swam laps in the family pool for hours upon hours and the lady and her husband had to literally tackle the dog and drag it out of the pool.
All the dog owners on the show with the pacing dogs, did one thing in common and needless to say, it worked wonders...
Prozac! It is actually more common then some people think, but it is not cheap, but these dog owners swear by it. The dogs can actually live normal lives.
That dog in the pool certainly made me nervous. They took videos of him and he just would not stop. From the wee hours of the morning to the evening and when brought inside, he would just pace and pace.
You must find a new vet. Also, you may want to research St. Johns Wort and Dogs. It is the herbal and much cheaper version of prozac and could really help. Good luck! |
