[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 456990, member: 12725"] I don't have any puppy love advice, but I do have an interesting story about Slugger's ADD and medicine. His ADD was horrible! Medicines didn't really work We called him The Absent Minded Professor and worried we have to hire an assistant like Monk has. About 6 months ago, he started craving really weird foods. I would find him in the pantry eating flour by the handfuls. He looked like he had a really bad cocaine habit. I took him to the doctor to have his iron levels checked, as pica, weird food cravings, is a sign of iron deficiency. His lab tests proved positive. He was put on iron supplements. His energy improved, which we expected. We didn't expect his ADD to go away, his heart murmur to disappear and his hearing to improve! Apparently, his body has always had this problem but didn't rear it's ugly head til puberty caused major growth spurts. I wish someone had told me to look into this, because it would have saved him so much stress and frustration...but horrible teasing from others. [/QUOTE]
