no one said anything about the idea that no medications are good & effective.

Yes: you did when you made baseless, sweeping generalisations:
"Drug compainies": plural, non specific.
"Their": plural, non specific.
"junk" non-specific.
"Vets": plural, non-specific.

at the level of our troops that are put on these drugs - including some combat troops. Look at the level of suicide rates among our military and how more die from suicide than are killled in combat now.

Are you seriously suggesting that we should blameanti-depressant use ahead considering the short and longterm psychological effects of a combat environment and all the horrors that accompany it in the context of suicide amongst armed services personnel?

If you have evidence of the need and effectiveness of the use of Prozac on energetic pets . . .

Good grief...
I've made no claims about effectiveness in pets, I was just responding to your absurd assertion that Prozac is junk!
It has helped countless people and is clearly not junk.
If, indeed, the vet did have Prozac for prescription to pets, than clearly there is a licence for it.
If there is a licence to prescribe then there is evidence that it works.
Simple.
Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps the vet was being sarcastic with your mother?

Precisely.
