    Hypothyroidism and 5HTP

    Just last night I spoke to an animal behavorist about Buddy's problem still not liking my hubby after 14 months (ugh....)
    I was on the phone with her for two hours!!!

    I told her everything I knew about Buddy, and his reactions to things... and different people and all that stuff.
    She started talking first about testing and treating him for hypothyroidism.
    Then she said maybe he should be put on 5HTP,
    (it's not Prozac... but it has something of the same effect)
    Also changing his diet... my head is SPINNING!!!!!!!!!

    Has anyone ever had a dog on 5HTP? Or know anyone that has? It's not approved by the FDA, but it's on shelves at your local drug store right now.

    Thanks!

    I've never heard of that before. I sure hope that if you try it that it works for him.
