Summary:
"The author of The Dog Who Loved Too Much andThe Cat Who Cried for Help recounts his entertaining and poignant stories of treating animals for all-too-human problems. Veterinarian and research scientist Nicholas Dodman wrote one of the first popular books to recognize the complex emotional lives of dogs and to reveal innovative ways to help them, including with Puppy Prozac. Humans and other animals share the same neurochemistry and that our minds and emotions work in similar ways. Racehorses with Tourette's Syndrome, spinning dogs with epilepsy, cats with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, feather-plucking parrots with anxiety, and a diffident Bull Terrier with autism - these astonishing cases demonstrate the similarities rather than differences between animals and humans."--Provided by publisher.
