Oona has all sorts of issues, mental health and other things! I should prob sign up on a dog forum for advice!
I'm still waiting for her to get on her anti- anxiety medication they had to redo her blood test and I'm waiting for a call back for an A-Ok. Backstory of this dog is that shes had five different homes since she was a year old so shes been tossed around a lot which probably contributes to her issues.
Shes afraid of everything but also acts like a maniac when out in public, at the vet she wants to attack any dog she sees. We have to keep her outside until shes called in for her appointment.
From there we go to every person she sees, in the car or at the vet, Petco etc she whines and and wants to run up to them like they are long lost friends of hers.
Then her potty accidents, shes been good for awhile but the last two days shes been having accidents again.
Another thing, she wants to sleep in the bedroom closet so I put her bed in there. Oddly, she will sometimes sit in the hall closet for no real reason at all, shes not afraid at the time she puts herself in there and if you try to move her out she will nip and become aggressive.
I wonder if they have dog psychiatrists?
I wont return her because shes been bounced around from home to home but I never bargained for this especially after losing my mellow shepard mix to cancer, I will admit its a bit disappointing. I have my birds to care for so its hard to deal with her many issues at the same time.
Im now tied to the house because of her as she cant be left alone. I told the vet I wanted to board her there while I leave on the weekends but she said that setting would probably just increase her anxiety. She reccomended a playcare/ day care center, I told her she doesnt get along with other dogs so how is she going to do at a playcare? She told me to try it anyway.
I dont know, Im just really frusterated and fear I will never be able to leave her alone, which will restrict everything in my life as well.
Anyway, thanks for reading this book
