    Help! Rocky was just hospitalized for 4 days :(

    So sorry Rocky is not feeling up to par. I can't help with dogs with IBD, but have experienced this with a cat. Lewis was given steroid shots to deal with the disorder, and it helped. However, it would still com and go. After dealing with the disorder for a couple of years, Lewis became very ill...

    Does anyone medicate for separation anxiety?

    It takes about six weeks on Prozac to know if Skully will get some relief. While it has really helped Doug with the separation anxiety, it has done nothing for his anxiety about bicycles. He hates them. I don't think that especially strange as Autry went nuts when he saw kids on skate boards...

    Does anyone medicate for separation anxiety?

    In the past. for night's out more than a couple of hours, we have hired a dog sitter. I should add that Doug is crated. In the beginning Doug would break out of the crate. We used ties and he still escaped the collapsible crate. We have since switched to the old style wire crate and use a lock...

    We have made the very difficult decision to let Roxy go

    I an so sorry. I wish you at least had a true diagnosis of Roxy's health. You have made the right decision as neither you or Roxy can go on in this matter. What is really sad is Roxy likely knows something is dreadfully wrong and can't understand why. Of course, neither can you or I. Thinking...
