Which drug is a behavioral medication not Fluoxetine?

• A. Trazodone
• B. Entyce
• C. Enalapril
• D. Mirataz

Answer: (A)

Behavioral medications are used to help animals cope with anxiety, fear, and related behaviors, often alongside training or behavior modification. Fluoxetine is a well-known example, used to treat ongoing anxiety disorders. Among the options, trazodone fits the role of a behavioral medication best. It acts as a serotonin modulator with sedative and anxiolytic effects, making it useful to reduce stress and fear in dogs and cats, whether for everyday anxiety, during stressful events, or before veterinary visits. The other drugs have different primary purposes: capromorelin (Entyce) stimulates appetite; enalapril is an ACE inhibitor for heart conditions; mirataz is an appetite stimulant (mirtazapine) with some mood effects but not primarily a behavioral medication. So trazodone is the behavioral medication distinct from Fluoxetine.
