Remember: pharmaceuticals don't just damage people; they can damage pets too.

For example, amitriptyline (also known as Elavil) frequently/usually causes weight gain in people because it makes them sensitive to salt and they develop sodium and water retention. - In your pet dog, the effect would be even more pronounced because of your pet's smaller size compared to a person. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/ami.html for information about amitriptyline and weight gain.

And if your pet is prescribed steroid medication, this too causes extreme salt sensitivity, with sodium and water retention. See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/steroids.html for information about steroids and weight gain.

It is MOST IMPORTANT if your pet is taking any of these prescribed medications that you do not give him/her food containing salt. - Do not give leftovers from your takeaways, for example, as these are usually high is salt/sodium. - Any salt will cause increased thirst/drinking, and because of the sodium and water retention that salt and water will not get excreted and so your pet will gain weight and have less energy and will be at increased risk of developing diabetes and a multitude of other problems.

Remember obesity in dogs and cats is not caused by overeating; it is caused by fluid retention.

DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG OR CAT FOOD CONTAINING SALT! It is bad for them.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
