Protocols for Behavior Medication In Shelters

  • 1.  Protocols for Behavior Medication In Shelters

    Hi all, we are currently developing protocols for dogs and cats that need behavioral medications while in our shelter.  Just wondering if anyone has a protocol or outline in terms of what, when and why you prescribe different medications.  We currently use trazodone, fluoxetine, and Clomicalm and the goal is to create a guideline in terms of starting with enrichment, nutraceuticals, etc and escalating to prescription meds when necessary instead of just starting with the heavy hitter prescriptions right off the bat. Any input is appreciated, feel free to message or post, thanks!
