Re: [pyrnet] prozac for dogs

["Allison" <pearldigger@earthlink.net>]

terry,
thanks - i totally agree w/you.  w/a background in psych i know what you're
talking about w/drs handing it out like candy.  actually that's always been
a pet peeve of mine. so, why did i ask about it for my dog?  well, i think
that some can benefit from it, but i don't agree that it's for everybody.
doc's took it way to far and people can depend on it way too much if not
careful.  yes, i would thoroughly look into all the information,  for as i
was referring to earlier, it may do good for casper but not for simba.

over all and above, i'd rather do the homeopathic ways.  through the years
i've seen what synthetic medicine can do, and i much prefer homeopathy.
but, i'm willing to look at other things, too like prescription medicine.
kind of a dichotomy, i know, but i suppose i think there is a place for
both.  i hope that makes sense.  i prefer homeopathy but am willing to try
the other, too.

thanks for the advice!
