actual evidence is two different things and we get there. But we do have evidence. That's the question that I'm going to have for you because I searched for that. I mentioned something and I know that that was what really triggered our meeting. And that was the dogs on meds are, well,

They are numb, right. And your response was dogs on meds are happier, not numb. Exactly. That's the goal. Right. So here is, and trust me, this is not a tricky question. This is a very honest question that I have for you. How do you objectively measure increased happiness in a sedated or emotionally flattened dog? is less energy really the proof of greater well being?

I actually have the book here somewhere.

And we have, you know, Stahl, which is kind of like the human. I also have the counter books because, you know, there is always a counter book. Yeah. Anyway, let's not waste time. No, no, no.

Because you said something interesting here, you know, like you, um, which is kind of, it's always a big question. And again, this is, I'm taking this straight out of human, the challenge that the human psychiatry has, you know, like, like if we can, we can increase synaptic serotonin levels and, and,

And we know, as you said, that it could take two to four to eight weeks, whatever that time period is. But it's like it takes a little time for them to kick in, right? Yes. So why is that? Because the evidence is that the serotonin level rises within hours after the medication is taken. Exactly.

They are nowhere to be found. That's the level that I want to see. i don't want to see less than that if the dog is what i call a zombie or what you said you use the word num like yes yes and i i i still um want to kind of emphasize that i do not take that lightly it wasn't you know as much as it was a cartoon and whatever uh yeah there is

Like, and it's not just my belief, there is a very growing within the psychiatry community argument that the SSRIs reduce empathy and emotional responsiveness. And this is serious stuff. And there is studies. There is studies. Like, there is another one that, again, I'm going to show you all those. And all of them are very recent. Now, you and I would agree that you've done research.
