Description

Fluoxetine is an FDA-approved medication used to treat a variety of behavior disorders such as separation anxiety and aggression in dogs and cats. It belongs to a group of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
When used for anxiety, fluoxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the central nervous system. This allows the serotonin to accumulate and affect the part of the brain that is responsible for coping mechanisms, social interactions, and adaptability. It can take up to 4 weeks to see the full results of this medication. In addition to your pet taking this medication, your veterinarian may suggest owner training or adjusting environment issues that can help become part of therapy, for a successful outcome.
When used to treat aggression or obsessive-compulsive disorders in dogs, behavioral training might also be recommended.
Fluoxetine can also be used to treat cohabitation anxiety for indoor cats who are prone to anxiety disorders due to their need for territorial organization.

Uses

Fluoxetine compounded oral liquid is given by mouth in liquid form with or without food. If your pet vomits after dosing it on an empty stomach, try giving future doses with food. If vomiting continues, it is best to contact your veterinarian. It may take 4 to 8 weeks for the medication to take full effect.
This medication should be given just as your veterinarian prescribes. It must be measured carefully, and it's best to use the syringe provided to ensure you are able to give the proper dosage required. After dosing your pet, rinse and dry the syringe, and screw the cap tightly onto the bottle.
Fluoxetine is a prescription medication for treating separation anxiety and aggression in cats and dogs. If you have difficulty giving it to your pet, contact your veterinarian for some helpful tips. We recommend washing your hands with soap and water after handling any medication. Do not stop this medication abruptly without your veterinarian’s guidance.
