Hey!! I am writting because we are doing better and I think this is encouraging to people and dogs who are in this situation. After one month I eliminated the...
This is wonderful news. I hear from so many folks that once they eliminate the crate that their dog's anxiety decreases- it does not go away- but often there...
Hi Jeri & group, I was catching up on emails and noticed your reply to the post on new ideas for crating. I was wondering if you could explain a bit more about...
... I had a previous dog with epilepsy who also got the gold bead implants, so I think we've "met" before. :-) A link to the website of the vet who did my...
I have an interesting question.... My deaf/visually impaired Aussie, Dakota, recently went completely blind due to an eye trauma. She was hospitalized for two...
Wow... I've not heard of that but it's very strange... The only thing I know of as far as SA dogs with impairments actually goes to the opposite of that. My...
Maybe there was something to her previous visual problems that kept her anxious, and having no vision is actually more calming for her? I would think that's...
That's what I would have expected.... increased disability... increased SA. But having lived with Dakota for almost a year now... I actually thought she would...
I know it is strange that blindness could be a positive or a benefit. But I kind of think of it the same way I see deafness.... it's not a disability, just a...
I think it makes it worse in terms of him being separated from me in any way. What I mean by that is, with a blind dog, it doesn't matter what room of the...
This is very interesting. Our rescue group just had a dog that was adopted to a home in WI. He has no sight in one eye and limited sight in the other eye....
You know on that theme... let me add, my dog never showed any SA in the shelter and now, when I board him he doesn't show ANY signs of SA there either... And,...
Interesting. I can see your point. I've had two deaf dogs (one of them being Dakota) and I have never had a problem with either of them that was related to...
Interesting. That seems very likely that this dog is dependent on other dogs to feel safe and secure. He probably should only go to a home with another dog. ...
Hello all - I'm very relieved to find you guys. I'm the proud mama of my shepherd mix, Harley. He's a shelter boy: I adopted him at around 8 months (we think)...
Hi and Welcome! It sounds like you have a crazy pup on your hands just like the rest of us! It also sounds like you've done a lot to help him and that you're...
Welcome to our group We all feel/felt your pain so hopefully we can help you and your pup. Your dog sounds like he is very stressed and unhappy which in turn...
Mark and I are fostering a very gentle senior dog-Taylor. We got him last Friday. He was left at the Washington Humane Society shelter about 3 weeks ago....
Taylor is a cutie for sure but I am stuck between a rock and hard place- trying to get him ready for adoption but he might just be too sick to keep this up....
Some days, I think I am a saint, for keeping Gus all of these years. Then, I read one of Mary Ann's posts, and I realize I am but a fraud. :-) _____ From:...
HA! I am certain living with Gus assures you a direct link to the golden gates! Anyway, I used to be an awful person and am just trying to change my evil ways...
Thanks all - I usually walk twice a day and run him once a day in addition. I'm enlisting the help of my dog sitter whose dog he gets along with well to come a...
... I think that everyone dealing with SA is working on their angel wings. It feels like the opposite as we're going through it...but hopefully we can all get...
Jeri This is excellent information. Thank you so much. A CBC was provided by the shelter, which according to the shelter was normal, so no other tests have...
Hi group! I have been a member of the group for awhile. I read all the emails and get great ideas to use with my terrier at home. My husband and I have had...
Hello. We have a 1.5 year old beagle who has an extreme case of separation anxiety. He had this when we got him as a pup, then he lived outside in a box for...
Hey! If your dog truely has bad SA he is definatly doing more than just laying around and sleeping when you are gone. Try filming him one day when you are gone...
Kate I am so sorry about this. When your quality if life is not good, well then something needs to change. Re-homing Sammy is always an option but sadly he...
Melissa makes many excellent points. One thing to consider is increasing your beagles exercise dramatically. Beagles are super high energy and busy dogs and...
