One of our canine customers, an 11 year-old English Springer Spaniel named Molloy , took part in that study. Molloy's owners report that she has no symptoms of being drugged or sedated when given clomipramine. She is more alert, more playful, and her appetite has returned. In fact, her general health has improved because she is no longer wearing herself out every day from stress. Both Novartis and veterinarians stress that Clomicalm is not a magic bullet.
Dogs are both observant and intelligent.
Part of the behavior modification is for the owner to break these patterns by, for example, locking up the house but not leaving right away. Other behavior modifications involve leaving the house for longer and longer periods of time so the dog has time to learn that they will return. If your dog is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety, talk with your veterinarian. He or she can help you decide on the best course of treatment. In the meantime, here are some other sites that will help you to learn more about Clomicalm.
