Anyone familiar with seperation anxiety in dogs? After 11 years, one of my two most beautiful, beloved animals has developed a severe case and we cannot seem to remedy it. The Vet gave me something similar to Zoloft for dogs, I have given him xanex (although maybe not a high enough dosage) and even benedryl to try and knock him out.
We have now bought him a crate, and he freaks out even worse and has started to shit and piss himself while inside. If you listen for the first five minutes he thingks you are gone he just howls. It is so sad. When he was much younger he always had a crate and loved it. The crate is now all we have to prevent him from destrying the house. After 11 years, what do you do???
Pics of said dogs to follow... maybe that will generate some sympathy advice
