WASHINGTON (Jan. 5) - Is your hound round? Too much flab on your Lab? Is your husky, well, husky? A new drug may provide some help.
The government approved the first drug for obese canines on Friday. Called Slentrol, the Pfizer Inc. drug is aimed at helping fat Fidos shed extra pounds.

The new drug Slentrol helps obese dogs lose weight by restricting fat absorption - but it can also cause loose stools, diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy and loss of appetite.
