I’m sorry, I don’t know of any. Have you tried antidepressants or other similar medications for your dog? If not, maybe that could help you keep your buddy with you.

The only thing they will offer is as needed, and it is to knock her out for a bit. It is not a long term option I don’t think? I will call Monday and ask if there is another medication option if I can’t make headway this weekend, thanks!

My vet has my fear aggressive dog on a daily regimen of Prozac and trazodone. This was based on trainer and vet recommendations. The combo has really helped her out. She never killed another animal but she definitely used to attack my other dogs and me and had left some pretty nasty bites on us all. She’s much better with the meds.

I also want to add that the vet was pretty apprehensive about doing this at first but I exhausted all of my other options. She always warned me that meds aren’t a cure all - which my dog has her moments still but it’s 100000 times better than it was.
