Have any of you used prozac? Summer was prescribed it for her SA a few days ago. I was very wary of drugs for her SA but nothing else was working and I was assured the prozac wouldn't change her personality or make her less herself just lessen her anxiety.
After a few days on prozac, she's like another dog. She has NO drive, NO energy, just sleeps... She won't even eat her treats she usually goes crazy for. She won't play anymore... It's just awful. The dog that was tearing up the agility course last week now won't even jog across the yard. She stops halfway and walks. I've also noticed she's started doing the stereotypical chihuahua/small dog shaking which she NEVER has done before.
Is it possible it's too big a dose? I'm going to talk to the vet and see what he thinks. I do know lethargy and shaking are sometimes a side effect. On the plus side, she's so mellow she really doesn't seem to care when I leave but it's not worth it if she's not herself. I miss the old Summer.
Oh and we have agility class tonight. I'm not sure what I'm going to do- she has no interest in food right now at all.
