Update on my current situation.
For those who don’t know - I have two dogs, both SharPei, both nearly 11y. Their names are Kenzo and Carlton.
For the past two weeks Kenzo has been suffering from severe anxiety ALL day and night. Before my first visit to the vets he had suffered for 2 days straight, obviously I put the first day down to maybe being spooked by something but when the second day came around he was worse.
His episodes are 24hrs, the only time he will stop is if he falls asleep standing up and I never know how long he’ll stay asleep for. His episodes include him scratching at my walls, nudging everything, panting, climbing up me and digging me, he’s broken a couple of things & obviously stopped me working, streaming or anything.
An example of what happens, he wakes me up at 5am clawing at my face.
Obviously he’s never been like this, he only used to be anxious with fireworks & that wouldn’t last all day.
I started to walk him for longer and longer daily hoping it would make him sleep, it doesn’t.
Firstly the vet thought he may have a gut issue making him the way he is by him trying to tell me he’s not well, he had pro-biotics and antibiotics for a week, this didn’t help. Today he’s had his bl00d taken, which thankfully came back all perfect so luckily it isn’t dementia or anything.
So what is it? The vet is as clueless as me, nothing has changed in the house, he’s always been fine with building work but nothing loud has been happening.
She’s prescribed him some YuCalm - natural calming tablets which I can’t pick up until Monday and take 8 weeks to kick in (if they even help). I’m struggling so hard, I’ve tried everything to calm him down and nothing works 😭
I just wanted to let you all know because I’m having a hard time to even sit on my laptop currently because if he’s awake he’ll push himself in-between me and the MacBook or nudge it shut & if I try to film he scratches at the door.
I just want him better, back to how my boy was. I’ve had him since he was a pup and this really isn’t him :(
