My 13-year old boy is not liking the heat. I have a cooling vest for him but I’m contemplating a shorter hair cut for the summer. I’ve only had him since January and know very little about show breeds. Is it advisable to cut his hair shorter in the summer? He mats very easily and does not like to be brushed.
Glad I bought those expensive pillows 😂 Finn is living the good life ❤️
Looking for some help with separation anxiety with my Finnegan. He was with one human for 12.5 years before we adopted him. He is the sweetest boy and we love him lots. He has some trachea damage from pulling as a puppy, and when he gets excited or exercises, his breathing becomes labored. Could be some LarPar there. He had a hard time settling in at night initially, and the vet gave him trazodone which helped him (and us) get some sleep. Now I feel like it might be having the opposite effect: he gets really crazy about an hour after I give it to him at night. Wants to go in and out of the house, tears through his toy box, barks at us. He follows me around everywhere in the house (which I don’t mind) but gets worked up when I put in my coat to leave, even if he can see me in the back yard. Now when I’m gone he has started digging at the carpet and chewing up anything plastic or rubber that he can get his paws on: the remote, phone chargers, etc. Giving him trazodone during the day doesn’t help. Bully sticks give him diarrhea. Unless he can eat it, toys are of little interest. Any suggestions? Should I wean him off the trazodone?
