My doggie's dog days are numbered. The older she gets, the worse her nervousness gets and her weak excretory system is failing her. I've used a crate before...but the crate I used may have been too big--and she clawed her toenails off when she was placed inside. So I bought a new one. This one has a "disc" inside of it that emits a "pheromone" --the same pheromone that a mommy dog emits to calm her puppies. Apparently, a dog knows that scent their entire life. This crate also came with a blanket that has lavender and chamomile scent on it.
...and that's not all. I also bought some calming treats which are also infused with chamomile and lavender AND tryptophan--for use when a known storm is coming--shoot the way things have been going I might just give her one daily--like a sort of valium/paxil for dogs. On top of these things, I bought a special collar. No, not a shock collar, although I was tempted, it's a collar that also contains the "mommy-pheromone" and lavender and chamomile.
My smoke alarms went off the other day when I lost power to indicate to me that they had lost their source of power--they are electrical. I was at work. This freaked my dog out.
Yes. I am done with this dog. I love her so much but one can only clean up so much pee and poop after one gets a little worn out over it. If only urine and feces were the least of it...did I mention she tore my new blinds down again? Or that she is scratching violently at the door frames--trying so hard to escape that she has rubbed her nose raw.
So. I pray this works for her. Our little precious Sandy. We love her and want her to be well.
:( Poor girl... poor you. I can't believe they have all of that stuff for dogs! Who am I kidding... of course they do!
