I tapered Cali’s xanax because she was getting better and it is ridiculous and poor practice to give a mediciantion that is not longer needed. She was never addicted.
I am not questioning your credentials. You told me you are a MD..and also a NP and have your PHD. I didn't say any of your patients became addicted . The discussion is about using Xanax in dogs and as I stated above....I would never take it OR give it one of my dogs. I am not saying it is wrong for a person to use it...I am merely stating what I know about this medication. I always share what knowledge I have so people can make their own decisions for their pups.

I am merely responding to comments on this thread about a drug that is well known to have dependence issues.
