Caleb's Chronicles

[fuzzi]

So...Caleb has been bouncing off the walls all afternoon, jumping up, not listening, worse behavior than when adopted. Much worse!

I went online and researched, found that side effects of Trazodone include increased anxiety and aggression!

I put him in Time Out as he was out of control, jumping up, and grabbing at my hands and clothing. With teeth.

Uh, no.

Thirty minutes later he'd been quiet, so I let him out of the crate.

Guess what? Yep. You guessed.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I spoke with his foster, she agreed with my thought to take him off the Trazodone, and confirmed that cold turkey is fine.

I hate seeing Caleb acting like this. Poor pup.

Poor guy. Did they give you any regular pain medication?

Carprofen. He gets one a day.

Oh. I just looked it up...one of the possible side effects is aggression.


That's it. Caleb is going cold turkey tomorrow.

Too late for this, but I keep Arnicare pills for pain , for me and the dogs. Arnicare pills help with the pain from snakebites, Benadryl for swelling and a baby aspirin.

Noted, thank you.


Poor pup. He can't help himself.

It's been a couple days and I suspect most heavy pain is over...tender, yes. Give him 1/2 an aspirin if you don't have baby ones
