One of my dogs has OCD, seperation anxiety, and I even think bulimia. We have brought this up to my vet. She, I guess doesn't believe in medicating animals with psychiatric drugs. If humans have mental disorders, and have meds that can help them, why can't animals?
I had asked about phenobarbital. My vet said " no I usually only prescribe that for seizures".
Its a long story about my dog and her anxiety/OCD, I will give more info on that tomorrow (well I guess today since its almost 3 am here now) after I get some sleep.
Hope you get some help for your pets. Aren't they just wonderful companions!!! I love cats, and dogs, and ferrets, and......ok every animal!!!! :-)
Good night
