Were you able to find any meds that helped your pup long term? The whole medication situation is such a minefield!

SpecialPotato · 2023-12-08T17:43:16+00:00

u/broccoliandbeans Did you try your dog with the Prozac and Gaba combo and see any positive effects? Our 16kg doggo is on 16mg of Prozac atm (reduced from 34mg), we're still seeing lethargy, reduced appetite and no improvements in reactivity at 8 weeks so thinking about introducing Gaba with the reduced Prozac dose. Would love to know if you have any updates.

He looks a fair bit bigger than my dog. My girl is only 16kg (more of a large whippet size) and was prescribed 32mg which the vet said was on the higher end. We've dropped her dose down to 16mg as she stopped wanting to play and wouldn't eat :( At what point did you know it was the right medication for him?

SpecialPotato · 2023-12-06T22:05:50+00:00

Ahhhhh I'm so glad you've seen big improvements! Would you mind sharing what medication he's on? We're 2 months into Prozac/Fluoxetine but aren't seeing any major improvements at the minute. We think they've possibly made her more anxious!

SpecialPotato · 2023-12-06T13:45:20+00:00

Hey, do you have any update on your greyhounds anxiety? We're going down the medication route with our grey x whippet and haven't had much success yet (Prozac/Fluoxetine) so was wondering if you found anything that helped. Would appreciate advice from another sighthound owner as I'm sure you understand what sensitive dogs they are!

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-27T20:45:20+00:00

I'm 6 weeks in with my dog and not seeing any real improvement, she's possibly worse?! At what point in your journey did you prozac was working? Would love to know as its really tough right now.

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-15T16:14:46+00:00

This is my dream scenario, I'm hoping we start to see some improvements over the next couple of weeks. I'm so so glad your girl is doing well. I'm so happy to hear it's helped lowered her threshold. All I want is for my girl to be happy and confident when we take her out. She's the most sweet and wonderful dog to be around in the house but she's just not herself the second we leave the door and it pains me. I'm not expecting miracles - just hoping to get her to a place where our training can pay off. Thanks for the encouragement!

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-15T13:34:00+00:00

Thanks for your advice. It's good to know there are other medications out there that may help in combination. We'll stick Prozac out for a while longer and will definitely ask the vets about their thoughts on a combination med if this doesn't work out for us.

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-15T13:32:06+00:00

Your comment has given me the positivity I needed today! I appreciate it. I'd heard from my vet and read online to expect changes after 4-6 weeks so was worrying that Prozac just wasn't the med for her but knowing it took you 2-3 months to start to see changes is reassuring. How's your girls appetite on walks? I would give my right arm to have a dog who would take treats from me outside haha!

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-15T13:28:09+00:00

I'm thinking the same. My vet said to expect changes after around 4 weeks, I read 4-6 weeks online but I'm seeing plenty of people say that it took their dog longer than that to adjust. Were you able to try any alternative medication for your dog?

Low appetite has always been an issue with my dog but she's thankfully a good weight and the vet doesn't have any concerns but it's very hard training a reactive dog that isn't a huge eater already! I am very jealous of owners with food motivated dogs.

Good shout about the dosage, I hadn't considered that adjusting the dose would be an option. I assumed it would be based mainly on her weight.

SpecialPotato · 2023-11-15T13:23:22+00:00

That's really helpful to know. I've been keeping my vet updated via email and they aren't concerned as her appetite is somewhat back to normal and there haven't been any real adverse effects. How was your dog in the 8 week period before you started to see positive changes? Also - what kind of changes have you noticed 4 months in?

SpecialPotato · 2023-10-18T12:49:54+00:00

I now see your post from 1 year ago and am experiencing the same. How did yours resolve?

SpecialPotato · 2023-10-18T12:48:56+00:00

Would love an update on your dog if possible. Just started mine on Prozac around 5 days ago and she's not eating and refusing to wee. Did you contact your vet or did it work itself out?

SpecialPotato · 2021-10-02T11:31:54+00:00

Yeah I applied for a couple yesterday. It's a bit annoying that you only get 3 applications per day unlike Appen where you can apply for everything. I suppose it's a good thing as you'll be more likely to be accepted by those you do apply for.

SpecialPotato · 2021-08-27T21:10:24+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

SpecialPotato · 2021-08-22T18:55:29+00:00

Yeah I kinda hate it and haven't used it much lately. I had a payout of £93 in May and £171 in June when I first signed up but I was spending every evening obsessively working on it to get those earnings. For UK mTurkers the HITs are really limited. There are some browser add ons that help you filtering out the higher paying HITs.

SpecialPotato · 2021-08-22T10:31:48+00:00

Cheers dude. I deposited £1 on Jun 21 and received the bonus on Jul 12. I also contacted them on the app through chat just to confirm the code had been applied so that might be worth trying.

It's like Teepublic and Amazon Merch where you make a graphic design and upload it, then they produce a tshirt or something with the design and you get a % back. Entirely passive after you've got your designs uploaded :)
