OCD PETS?

YOUR PET MIGHT HAVE OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER:

Do you ever get the feeling that your PET is mentally ill? For example, does your pet constantly lick himself . . . or bite at imaginary flies . . . or relentlessly chase his own shadow? (Mine does)

If so, there's a chance your pet has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder . . . or OCD. I know what you're thinking . . . "Isn't OCD that mental disorder where people are always washing their hands?" Yeah, it is. And a new study has found that dogs, cats and even horses can suffer from OCD . . . just like humans.

But listen to this . . . The same drugs that are prescribed to humans to treat OCD . . . such as Prozac and Zoloft . . . can help animals suffering from OCD too. (KWWL News 7 - Iowa)
