Fen-Fen for dogs? Aiya!

Today's Boston Globe Online features an article about a new FDA approved drug to help obese dogs. Please please please don't tell me there are vets out there who are willing to cater to lazy pet owners and shell out this drug! This drug goes out to the public in April. Here is the link to the article:

Very disturbing. I fear what side effects this drug will have. Certainly human weight loss pills have not been without significant negative consequences.

I sign off with just one simple thought:

CALORIES IN-CALORIES OUT
