Pharmacological therapy with a combination of alprazolam and fluoxetine and use of the trace element lithium gluconate for treating anxiety disorders and aggression in dogs

This research studied two different treatments, lithium gluconate and a combination of alprazolam and fluoxetine, with the aim of assessing their efficacy for treating anxiety disorders in dogs. One hundred and thirty-five dogs took part in the study, divided into two diagnostic categories: anxious dogs with aggression and anxious dogs with no aggression. The animals in each category were divided randomly into three testing groups, each with a different treatment but with the same behavior modification program.
