I was not real clear on that - my tendency toward metaphor got away with me. I was originally referring to Prozac for school-age kids. There has been a huge wave of pediatric prozac 'scrips.
But yah. I think there was a recent approval of a psych drug for dogs with "separation anxiety". Clomicalm or some such. Guess some bright-eyed grad student discovered that it was a YAP antagonist.

Bill, from what I have read in scientific articles, and interviews with veterinarians, Prozac really works for a large group of emotionally unbalanced and depressed dogs. Like almost everything about modern life, there is something unnatural about locking dogs in houses alone all day while everyone is at school and work, or chaining them in the backyard. Being social animals who like to travel in packs and roam, it seems quite unfair that we have domesticated them just to treat them a lot like many working parents treat their children.

It's no wonder there are a lot of screwed up psyches, animal and human!
