Alexs,
I don't know of any specific medications for that kind of behavior, but I agree with Susan and Dinah.
I would also, if your wife wants more animals, point out that the more She has, the less time she has for each of them. It would be good to point out just how many workers and volunteers an animal shelter has to take care of the number of animals they take care of. It is very important that animals have enough attention.
As for the 'things', I used to do something like that. I would find broken items that I could fix. Soon I had ha house-full of working things that I didn't need. Moving a few times, and finding out how sick I actually am has helped. I still have to sonsciously avoid buying anything that I don't need, and still sometimes I find myself doing just that, but it is much less than I did before. (Being in much smaller quarters helped too.)
I don't know if any of this helped, but I hope so.
Dee.
