For anyone who read the post about Smokey, one other things worth - TopicsExpress



          

For anyone who read the post about Smokey, one other things worth noting is that she has been sucking her flank more and more obsessively over the past year or so. I had mentioned this to my vet before we did the xrays and she diagnosed the IVDD. She started Smokey on 5-HTP, a supplement that can be "used to decrease aggression and impulsivity, to stabilize moods and as an adjunct to treating compulsive disorders." Since she started on this supplement, I have had to interrupt her flank sucking about once a day compared to the 10, 15, 20 times a day I was interrupting the same behavior. For anyone with dogs with any of those described issues, you might want to check it out.
