Stuck on Clomicalm
Filed Under Cat Health, Spotted Elsewhere |
I happened to see this post while out and about. The poster wondered if their pet was going to be on Clomicalm forever, after having been on it over a whole year already.
Does anyone on the forum have any experience with using Clomicalm on their dog? I have a Cavalier King Charles spaniel who has been on Clomicalm for just over a year now, and I'm not sure if I should expect he will be on it forever. ...
The follow up poster rightly pointed out that Clomicalm is not in fact a be all, end all solution. It makes the symptoms of the problem easier to deal with. You have to work on behavior modification and changing or resolving the problem in the first place. Maybe you shouldn't leave the pets alone for so long. I remember being amazed at my ex-mother-in-law, who professed to love dogs, but would go off working all day, go out all night, take trips, and leave the poor dogs all by themselves. They didn't use Clomicalm for dogs, but did have problems with them being somewhat destructive. Eventually she started crating them instead. Oh, that was unbelievably sad.
Bottom line, the owner has to make some changes just the same as a dog does. Looking for a magic pill which will eliminate any necessity of effort is just an unfulfillable panacea.
