And now he has some reduction in his activity level. And I'm saying some reduction. Yeah, right. When I'm talking to my patients, and I put them on, I recommend having them on a medication like that, or anybody medication, and that might have side effects, I tell them, look, the dog is not supposed to be a zombie. some reduction in energy, that's normal.

I mean, also depends on the dog, the dog's personality, of course, but dogs breed and age. I mean, I wouldn't expect a 10 year old um i don't know a labrador let's let's go with labradors and i wouldn't expect a 10 year old labrador to be as active as a one-year-old labrador right so it's it's different for different uh patients and if you ever had older dogs or even mid-aged dogs you know that

Most of them don't spend the entire day running around and playing and just wanting to be petted all the time or play all the time. Many of them just want to relax. They just want to chill.

um they're questions right they're they're questions it's it's a valid question and and there's a good chance that you know for some of these things unless we'll find a way to you know read the dog's thoughts or something like that we're not gonna know right so again we go according to changes in behavior now it is true all the things that you mentioned there are known side effects in people as well

But there are other studies in people that show that their life are actually improving with the use of these medications. So, you know, yes, they're bad studies or even great studies, but with you know, bad results. I mean, I'm doing like the patient. Yeah, because because, you know, it kind of like doesn't fit the maybe the narrative that psychiatrists will want to say that, yeah, they're safe.

No, we are aware that there are dangers and there are issues. Do dogs can also have, you know, the same things like you're mentioning, like basically deprive them from their joy in life and kind of they're not feeling those things.

there's a good chance that in some dogs yes because again we believe that the brain of people especially with let's say the or the basic emotions does work the same as in in dogs knowing if it's actually exactly the same that's hard to say that's why for example

you know let's say a good example would be autism right so in people there's like the spectrum there are all kinds of different tests that you can do and even genes that are associated with it and in dogs we almost don't have any studies about the topic and not because we don't think that dogs might be autistic i think that most of us believe that there are dogs

that have behavioral issues because they're on the autistic spectrum or the equivalence of that in dogs. But right now we don't have ways to know it. And, you know, again, I wish we had things like measuring something in the blood or like some sort of a scan that will give us the answer, but we don't. So kind of like going back to... Sorry, go ahead.

i'm saying that kind of going back to what we said or what i said at the beginning that in the end we we're both trying i mean both groups right dog trainers and veteran bears are trying to improve not just the dog's life, of course, the dog's life and the owner's life. And if there's any danger to the dog or people around the dog and all of that, of course, we also try to address that.
