Who Does Depression Hurt?

...Everyone. :'(

Sis says maybe I am depressed. I say I don't know, I just don't have the energy to do much of anything lately. I lay around, especially in my old puppy crate, which Sis says is too small for me, but I say it's cozy and dark and safe. I have also been just standing around lately, not sure which way to go...too many decisions sometimes. I haven't even had much interest in eating, drinking, or going outside. Sis made me lick the water off her fingers cause I wouldn't take any from the bowl then...I did later, though. Then they practically dragged me out to the back yard, but they couldn't make me go very far. Sis asks me what's the matter, why I'm down in the dumps, but I don't really know. I heard her and Mom talking and they said they heard on the commercial for the flea medicine advatanx that it may cause depression and muscle aches-- have you pups heard anything about this? When I didn't have to take it over the winter I was a lot happier and more playful, I just started back on it and am do for another application soon-- has anyone heard of this causing depression and if I don't use that, has anyone heard of any herbal or natural remedies to keep the creepy-crawly-flying-biting-sucking-things away from me?




Luv,

Akira, how are you doing? We dont get fleas here in Arizona so we don't know what to tell you except to feel better so soon!

Akira,

I hope you feel better soon. I don't know about the medicine, but maybe if your people cooked you up a nice steak, you would feel like eating.

My moms used to use garlic for the fleas.

One of the moms used garlic powder on the dog food, the other mom used a liquid garlic concentrate in the dog water.

Neither of them had flea trouble during that time.
