Yorkster,

Well, I can't remember what it's called but the best route, if you are thinking of using something like that is to start taking your pooch to a Homeopathic Vet. Due to the homeopathic principle of 'like treats like', you can actually cause symptoms if you give the wrong remedy or conversely, you can overdose and cause more severe symptoms. I would also suggest picking up a small book called 'Beyond Flat Earth Medicine', which is a basic look at Homeopathy (generic - human and animal) It gives a good overview of homeopathy, it's principles, some case studies and is quite enlightening without being too medical or too expensive (about $15 Canadian)

I'm sorry I can't be of anymore help - I could look up in my files or (ask the vet) what he gave her and get back to you.

I'm not sure if I mentioned the process we went through with the vet to determine what remedy to try Talus on first? We compiled a case history of Talus' life from as early as we knew until now. We told our vet how she reacts to different situations, how she reacts differently in the same situation without the same factors involved (ie: when we are with her or not) He inquired about her diet (he treats animals on raw food diets), past traumatic experiences, etc. This took about 45 minutes. Our vet analyzed her information and then gave us the remedy about a week later. It is quite an involved process to determine what remedy to start with. Often the first remedy might not be the one that works and you may have to try a couple of others. This can take time (over a few months.) It is so worth it in the end (if it works) because all of a sudden your pooch becomes more managable and less likely to react at the first sign of a stressful situation. When the people in your life, anyone who knows your dog and has seen the past behaviour, tells you that your dog is much calmer and seems happier - WOW, it makes all the difference. You and your dog start having a better relationship also!

Thanks for asking and if I can help anymore, let me know.

Cheers,
Lisa & Talus
