This is my journal about my shy greyhound, Katie, and my steps to rehabilitate her into a more "normal" dog.

Quick update on the drug situation
Realized that I sort of left the issue hanging in the last post were I talked about adjusting the dose. After meeting with the vet, I decided to try the DAP collar. Didn't see any changes with that, so we have now increased the Prozac to 30 mg from 20 mg. (Side note: 20 mg caplets of Prozac run around $13. Ask for the same amount, in tablets, so that you can give half-tablets to make 30 mgs, and the price goes up to $151! Thankfully, the pharmacist agreed to give me 10 mg capsules, so that I could give 2 or 3, which was back to the 13 dollar price.) I'm on week two of 30 mgs. Not seeing a whole lot of changes yet, but not seeing the side effects that I did when I first started her on the drug either. I've also eased up on counter-conditioning, since I am starting to think about getting a second dog to fulfill some of my dog needs (a friendly, out-going dog who LIKES walks and classes and going out in crowds of people) instead of trying to force Katie to meet those needs.
