My dog is an emo. What should I do? I fear he’ll turn in to a cutter.

Okayy... I do know fish become depressed when another in the tank dies, just happened in our home, but there is absolutely NO way I’d buy an animal those type of drugs.

Maybe the depressed pets can listed to broadcasts of Obama speaking and they will cheer up and realize things are soon going to change and be better - zingo-bingo - depression gone.

You ever see that?

Prozac and Ambien for depressed suicidal dogs. That's just great. I can just picture a liberal Englishwoman putting her friggin' Corgi on Prozac.
Next thing you know, they'll be shooting up malls and schools.
I give it about ten more years before you won't be able to walk down the street without seeing everyone with spinning pinwheels where their eyes used to be and streams of multi-colored cuckoo pills dribbling out of their mouths.

As a responsible pet owner you should immediately seek fish counseling. Check your policy. It may be covered. You don’t know what a depressed fish is capable of. Make the right choice to seek professional help for this fish before it is to late.

ROFL The fish is fine as long as it can see and hear us, but after the other one died two weeks ago, we thought this one would die of loneliness.
When I put the box of fish food with the fish photo next to his tank Saturday, he just stared at it like it was another fish. (he’s doing it now) THAT made me cry. (goofy, huh?)
I should get a job as a fish psychologist. LOL

Have you talked to your dog, spent quality time with him. Maybe take some time off work, plan a get-away/vacation for just the two of you - shared experiences, fishing, hunting something where your dog will again regain a sense of how very very important he is in your life.
To: madison10
Hmmm....suddenly I see things differently.
We found our fish outside the bowl. We always figured the cat finally flipped him out.
Maybe he jumped.

I suppose drug therapy for depressed dogs is a lot more practical than talk therapy, at least until a canine-human mind meld can be developed.

There’s not much you can do if they’re pining for the fjords.

That cat looks like one of those Islamist suicider bomber pets I read about this morning! Headscarf and all!

You’re right, I’ve been a bad owner. Now I’ll have to steal some of Rover’s antidepressants.

We get the word pharmacy from the Old Testament pharmakia (something like that) and it is one of the things that God forbids us to do. We think demons in humans are bad? Wait till they start showing up in animals.
