Incurin Side Effects...

My German Shepherd was recently prescribed incurin and it has caused her not to eat and a little bit aggressive and scared...  She also was running around with her hackles up and starting fights with my other dogs...She only had 3 or 4 days of it and then I took her off of it this last Sunday was her last dose...She still is not wanting to eat and not 100% back to herself?  How long do the side effects last...It was taking me an hour and a half to get her to eat 2 cups of food...I'm really hoping she will return to her normal self again soon...Any idea how long before it will be out of her system?

Please call Merck and post on fido savvy.com.  Merck is saying they don't know of any issues with this drug but I'm finding plenty and they need to know about it. https://secure.merck-animal-health.com/company/Email_Us.aspx?SiteID=457&st=py1ucszdbcvkbru4ead2x1yb

I have a Yorkie with bladder crystals.  She was in three homes in three weeks and she was hyper but, after 15 days on Incurin she began "herding" my other Yorkies.  We didn't think much about it but after 30 days she is aggressive and literally hunting my other female Yorkie and attacking her.  We are stopping the Incurin and have her on doggie downers to try and manage her behavior but she is still hunting her.  I, too, would like to know if there is a time when this will stop.  It is like she is possessed.  There is nothing about this on the label of Incurin but there is something on the Incurin testing site about three dogs having to be euthanized due to aggression.  Shouldn't people be warned of this issue?  Thank heavens she's not a Mastiff!
