At a pharmacological level, it is used in the context of managing the amount of serotonin available in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake at the synaptic cleft. Commonly observed effects include behavioral shifts such as lethargy or restlessness and localized digestive changes like a decrease in appetite. Because it manages serotonin signaling, your veterinarian will monitor for observational signs of sensitivity. Owners should monitor for significant changes in activity and follow the specific schedule provided by their veterinarian.
