Morning guys!
Our little Jack Russell is about 18 months old now and he's always been a total legend with his bedtime routine! Out for a wee, handful of nibbles, and then straight in his bed with a treat! But he's started to cry on a night and during the day now I'm back at work.. he stays in the kitchen while we are out and our neighbours have told us how distressed he sounds while we are at work
The other night I had to come downstairs to try and calm him down and he was just shaking and crying, he wouldn't get in his bed and he wouldn't have his bedtime bonio! I give him my dressing gown and put a little lamp on for him and it seems to have calmed him down the last 2 nights but I'm dreading leaving him to go to work this week!
My other half has worked all through lockdown but I've been at home with him everyday, I've recently gone back to work but my shifts are different each week so he doesn't really have a routine as such yet! But I am back to my normal hours as of next month so hopefully we can get him back to his normal self!
He's been a little spoilt recently we took him for a week away with us and he spent every minute of every day with us and we've been letting him sleep upstairs more than usual and when he's crying we give in to him and bring him up, so we are totally at fault!
I've been looking at anti anxiety medication from pets at home and I'm just wondering if anyone has used any in particular and have had any success with them? I know we should consider visiting the vets but I just want to try and fix it myself, he's such a good dog, he's always settled really well and I think it really is just a case of him being spoilt over the last few months! I think once I'm back to normality I think he will be too!
Any advice would be really appreciated!
