And you are correct, benzos are problematic. That is why the FDA and DEA stipulate short term use (which many docs ignore). Any patient I see that I am treating with medication for anxiety must see a psycho therapists in addition. That is where I got the idea to start Cali in agility and it might have been the smartest thing I did for her. The vet also agreed. |
Which is basically what I said previously....there are other meds and/or modalities that can be effective that don't have the issues that Xanax does. Agility is awesome for dogs.... just like I would think any physical activity can be helpful in humans who are having issues with anxiety.
