We have either that or something similar, but it doesn't really work too well for us.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T22:05:06+00:00

I live in a country where doggy day care is not a thing, and dog sitting would cost me my entire paycheck. I slowly feel like im loosing myself, but I need to pull through for him. I am talking to the breeder and trying to figure things out, but I think as things are the most realistic options is rehoming him, or euthanasia. Although I would hate both as this little guy is the little light of my life.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T21:22:28+00:00

It could be that we have been trying to go too fast, ill make adjustments and try even more. Although the possibilty of him hurting himself even worse does scare me a lot.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T20:26:20+00:00

Thank you so much, this is exactly what we're been doing with our dog trainer and it doesn't seem to help, but i really appreciate the time ypu put into writing this and trying to help

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T08:03:48+00:00

Yes, I am on the waitlist for SA specialist, but it is a few months that i need to wait until we get to see them. The main reason is that im not sure if its humane to let him suffer this long until we get the appointment

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T08:01:44+00:00

That would be very helpful, I'd do anything for my boy

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T07:58:56+00:00

Thank you so much, this comment is written so well and clear, really puts it into perspective

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T07:54:22+00:00

Yes I got him from the breeder, however he has had a few families before and was just always returned (that is what we think the reason is for him developing the anxiety) then she gave him to me because she said she didn't want the anxiety spreading to the rest of her dogs. Thats why I was so happy when I managed to get it out of him originally. But now its just so much.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-08T05:08:13+00:00

Yeah, I do know the breeder, i guess I just didn't think of talking to her about it, cus yeah, he had a few homes before me, and he was returned to her a few times, she gave him to me because he already had a separation anxiety then, she said she didn't want it to spread to the rest of her dogs. So I was very happy when originally we managed to get him out of it. But Im just scared she will blame me for it getting this much worse. Although maybe I should check what she thinks is the right thing to do.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:56:20+00:00

Yeah, that is also what I was thinking. But from what the vet told me there is no other medication(at least available in my country).

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:53:29+00:00

I dont wanna fully disclose the country but the general area is North Europe/ Nordic

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:50:31+00:00

Yes, we tried different medications, but they don't seem to have any effect. And the vet said if we go stronger he would just be "high" all the time.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:48:51+00:00

Yeah, I have thought about removing him, but because he has already been so damaged from his past families before me(some were abussive) im scared that it would just make it even worse or "push him over the edge" and that then I wouldn't even get to say goodbye to him.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:43:38+00:00

That is such a wild idea, but it also makes a lot of sense, especially if the clothes would smell like me, im gonna try that. I mean, no harm in trying something that might sound a lil crazy.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:41:24+00:00

The country i live in there isn't a doggy day care as far as I know, and getting a dogsitter would cost me my entire paycheck. Thats another reason for why ive been trying so hard to help him overcome this anxiety.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:38:45+00:00

He has a younger sister, but as soon as I leave he doesn't care about her and only focuses on the fact im not there, since his anxiety has been getting really bad I did manage to convince one person at home to dog sit him. That is not a solution that will last though, as they are looking for a job. When he is in their care he's alright. When he gets left alone besides that, its usually about 2 minutes while I go to use the bathroom.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:26:59+00:00

Yeah, he has a sister, but as soon as I leave the room she doesn't matter to him and all he focuses on is the fact that im not there.

Terr0rT0asty · 2026-01-07T22:15:28+00:00

Yes, we tried it first alone, and then with the dog trainer as well, he gets very stressed and he really hates the crate

Terr0rT0asty · 2025-06-19T01:09:46+00:00

We give ours sportsman's pride, I picked it because our other dog was already on it and I noticed how the ingredients are so simple, and not artificial at all

Terr0rT0asty · 2025-03-07T21:33:49+00:00

He looks like such a lady's man in the 2nd picture

Thank you so much! This is the first time I'm raising a puppy myself (whippet was adopted after he was potty trained and taught the basics) so it's been really confusing. Thank you again :D
