Indications for use

Some people mistakenly believe that only people can experience stress. This condition is also typical for animals, especially in unusual situations. Disorders of the nervous system can manifest themselves in different ways. Some animals become overly active and sometimes aggressive. They may constantly whine and bark, spoil things, and even behave unusually, for example, eating inedible things. Other pets, on the contrary, become apathetic and refuse to play and eat.

Stress can cause more serious health problems. Fitex drops can prevent stress in dogs or correct behavior when the nervous system is disrupted. The drug is prescribed:

• with excessive activity;
• when excited;
• during sexual activity (marking territory);
• for fears and phobias;
• with irritability.

• during transportation;
• when going to the vet;
• when guests arrive;
• upon departure of the owner;
• during training;
• when visiting exhibitions;
• when staying in zoo hotels and other places with large concentrations of animals.

Owner reviews

Anastasia, owner of a short-haired pinscher:

“My dog ​​used to be afraid to be alone in the house. He howled terribly if I left the house. He was nervous and often showed attention to passers-by on the street. On the advice of the veterinarian, we bought Fitex drops. Drank for 10 days. The results are amazing. The dog has changed right before our eyes, no longer howls or makes terrible sounds, but at the same time there is no drowsiness or lethargy. I was very pleased with the drug."

Galina, owner of the spaniel:

“Our male dog gets really anxious when the girl next door goes into heat. I don’t want to castrate the dog, since he constantly participates in exhibitions. Previously, every heat was a real test, until a friend recommended sedative drops. Now our dog remains calm in any situation.”

Lyudmila, owner of the fox terrier:

“Our girl was terribly afraid of the windows closing from the draft. When I saw something like this, I ran to the bathroom and shivered for a long time. Fitex drops helped solve the problem. We took them for about three weeks. Now Alka does not react in any way to independently moving windows. Behavior has returned to normal."

Purpose

Animals have no less provoking reasons for stress than people. It can be:

• moving, changing home;
• departure of the owner or change of owner;
• long trip;
• a visit to the veterinarian or groomer;
• Exhibitions;
• vaccinations and other manipulations;
• excessive sexual activity;
• mating, childbirth and others.

A disorder of the nervous system can manifest itself in a pet in different ways: in some – increased excitability, in others – decreased activity, lethargy and apathy. Animals can whine and bark, damage things and furniture, some change their taste habits: they try to eat inedible objects.

Stress can be short-term or chronic. The first can be caused by veterinary procedures, hygiene measures, visiting noisy places, etc. The dog tries to hide and refuses to play, but this condition usually passes quickly and therefore does not require medical intervention.

If stress factors occur frequently, or the pet has been in uncomfortable conditions for a long time: frequent business trips of the owner, a new place of residence, the appearance of a child or another animal in the house, he cannot cope with nervous overstrain on his own. Chronic stress manifests itself in different ways:

• a dog trained to endure makes puddles in the house;
• refuses food, even any treats;
• does not obey the owner, does not show activity;
• moves little, looks apathetic;
• breathing heavily;
• often licks itself until bald patches form.

A dog that is often stressed can become aggressive even towards its owner. On the street, she can pick up garbage and inedible objects and does not respond to her owner’s commands. The following symptoms may indicate stress:

• nervousness and anxiety - dogs cannot sit in one place, do not lie on their bedding, and constantly move;
• excessive barking;
• increased salivation;
• intestinal or urinary system disorders and others.

Fitex can be prescribed before surgery, for injuries accompanied by severe pain. The components included in the drug, along with a sedative, have an analgesic effect.
