Does that make sense? One friend's dog was denied food before he was abandoned and adopted, and now gets really crazy around food time. A medication to calm him down and get him to eat all of his food doesn't seem too wacky.

I'd agree with that - it's like the way doctors approach humans. It's one thing giving an animal meds to deal with a medical condition like anxiety, and it's a whole other issue giving them medicaions just because the dog is energetic.
