Hi Roger,
Actually Prozac is the drug of choice for biting/aggressive
behavior. We usually use 1mg/kg once a day.
However lets make sure this aggressive behavior is not
adrenal related aggressive behavior. Is he on any
hormone supplements (pred, percorten-v, etc) after his surgery.
If not then we may have part of the adrenal gland still
remaining and still overproducing hormones. Thus Lupron
may be the medicine that is needed instead of Prozac.
Hope that helps,
