Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, they are all human medications used off label in animals. There are long acting drugs like prozac, zoloft, clomicalm, etc and then short acting medications like trazadone, acepromazine, xanax, etc. These drugs need to be prescribed by your Vet and work best with behavioral training. I hope this helps and I wish you and Buddy the best!

Hi there. Yes, you should be able to get it compounded into a flavored liquid (like chicken or fish) if this would be easier for you to give. You may have a local compounding pharmacy that can do this, or you can use an online pharmacy like Wedgewood or Vets First Choice. I would recommend calling your veterinarian tomorrow to talk about this - he/she should be able to tell you where you can have this done, and can write a new prescription for the compounded medication.

Ultimately, this is a decision that really needs to be made by the prescribing veterinarian, as there may be good reasons for choosing one of these medications over the other for a particular patient. But in general, I can tell you that most veterinary behaviorists prefer SSRIs like fluoxetine over older TCAs like amytriptyline as a first-line choice for anxiety issues in cats because they tend to have fewer side effects and are better tolerated by most patients. I personally use fluoxetine frequently in both dogs and cats, and have not prescribed amirtiptyline in years. But again, your vet may have good reasons for whichever medication they recommend - just ask, and express your concerns if you have any so that the two of you can come to the best decision for Fiona :)

I am sorry that your dog is having anxiety issues. Melatonin is used by some to treat anxiety. I have had success with Adaptil collar/diffuser and Composure treats. You could try them and see if they help. If not, talk to your vet about Prozac or Trazodone. Some dogs really do need medication to help. http://www.adaptil.com/us/ http://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900780060

Ask your vet to have the Amitriptyline compounded into a liquid or a transdermal gel. The transdermal gel is absorbed directly into the skin so you don't have to give anything by mouth. It is probably going to be the easiest solution for you. ( https://www.1800petmeds.com/Amitriptyline+Compounded-prod90001.html?Ntt=Amitriptyline+Compounded )
