They used it for a thunderstorm, and in their case, it did seem like it did something. And, you know, I have veterinarians, including behaviorists, that swear that gabapentin works. I can only say that in my study, it didn't seem like it worked

yeah as much again going on with my study that explained it but you know but that's considered a good study because it actually had that double blind control yeah yeah so there are other studies not a lot that only checked kind of like you know we gave the medication maybe not even blinded and then ask the owners what they think like was there a change or did you see anything

Yeah, we sometimes that's all we have. So, yes, we do have science based medicine. No, not all of it is the highest level. But we definitely go with kind of like do no harm as far as using medications or trying to minimize the risk as much as possible.

No, so first, not necessarily, it will reduce arousal. And depends again, depends on the case, the pain depends on the patient. It's not something correct.

No, I agree with you completely because, again, as far as the treatment goes, as I mentioned, medication is just one part. And, you know, I think it is important to understand why we use the medication. It's not to fix the behavior. We try to get the threshold higher, meaning that it will give us a little more...

wiggle room to actually work with the trainer on the behavior issue because let's say you have a dog that will explode because he's so afraid of the other dogs or like he's crazy hyper aroused because of anxiety and you know every little thing will trigger him even miles away so you know we can't do anything it doesn't matter if you're going to use shot colors and it doesn't matter if you're going to use

only treats the dog, like the second that it happens, explosion, right? He goes from zero to 60. The goal of the medication in most of these cases is to give us a little bit more time to be able to actually work on the behavior and treat the behavior. Many times, once we did it for, you know, enough time and the dog now learned the new behavior,

there's a good chance that we can win them off the medications and they don't need it. They're not going to need it anymore. So the fact that a dog is being put on some anti-anxiety medication doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to be on it for the rest of their lives.

But if we do see that, you know, we started winning him off and again, despite the fact that on the medication he was still curious, he was still playful, He was, as far as all of us can tell, enjoying life and eating nicely and interacting with their owners and if it's a playful dog with other dogs and all of that. Everything else kind of seems like a normal dog.

What's going on in the brain, again, we can't ask if they're happy or not. We can only say that their behavior is kind of looking normal.
