8mg Reconcile for Dogs is a prescription medication that contains fluoxetine. Reconcile 8mg is available as chewable tablets and it's indicated as an aid in the treatment of separation-related disorders in dogs manifested by destruction and inappropriate behaviours (vocalisation and inappropriate defaecation and/or urination).
Reconcile is a prescription-only medication for dogs suffering from separation anxiety. The 8mg dose is typically prescribed for small to medium-sized dogs, depending on the animal's weight and condition. Reconcile is designed to be used in combination with a structured behaviour modification programme, under the guidance of a veterinary professional.
Reconcile contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This active ingredient works by increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and behaviour. In dogs with separation anxiety, serotonin levels may be imbalanced, which can contribute to distress when left alone. By restoring this balance, Reconcile can help reduce anxious behaviours over time.
Separation anxiety is a common behavioural issue in dogs. It occurs when a dog becomes distressed or exhibits undesirable behaviours when separated from their owner or primary caregiver. Common signs include excessive barking or howling, destructive chewing, attempts to escape, urinating or defecating indoors, and pacing. These behaviours often begin shortly after the owner leaves and can be distressing for both the dog and the household.
The 8mg strength of Reconcile is usually prescribed for dogs weighing between 8.1kg and 16kg. Dosage is typically given once daily, and it is important that the medication is administered at the same time each day to maintain a consistent effect. Tablets are flavoured to aid compliance and are often well-accepted by dogs when offered with food or as a treat.
