I had a Black Lab who was very hyperactive her whole life.
My vet knew her – and knew my husband – and prescribed
Valium. It was for whichever one I could get it into but most often it
was the dog. It really did help. I was very conflicted about
medicating the dog, but it was a matter of life with us or not. From:

sad. Thank you for the links. I thought that poisonous mushrooms were rare
until now. On a lighter note, we have a crazy Lab mix who came to our
house three years ago and is a fabulous example of no good deed goes
unpunished. In one incident he pulled away from my daughter on a walk and
crashed head first into the back door of a car, causing $500.00 damage. There
are just so many Mr. Wiggles stories in the family lore. last Spring he started
having bloody diarrhea and just acted weird-nicer and calmer : ) I called our
vet and he, knowing the dog, put him on Baytril injections for eating
indiscretions-a common problem with him. Two days later we caught him eating
mushrooms on the firewood and then again looking stoned. We cleaned them all
off, but were conflicted, as the past few days had been so much more peaceful
at our house. We never realized how dangerous they actually were! We are
grateful to the people who warned us and so sorry for those who have been
effected by this tragedy. One wonders that this has not been more publicized as
children, as well as pets could easily be poisoned. In a message dated 9/23/2009 12:30:45 P.M. Central Daylight Time,
