I switched to Chaapi dog food today, and one of them loved it and ate it all and wanted more however, the second one did not eat it. I didn’t have any other dog friendly food with me, so I gave him Marie biscuits. What to do? Should I just keep putting Chaapi out and the other dog will get used to it? Or what to do?

Also, even though I kept their two bowls with 5 ft of distance, the dog who disliked Chappi tried scaring the other dog away multiple times by showing teeth and growling. How can I prevent any harm? They both are friends and were hanging out together the entire time. Only saw aggression during this time.

This is my first time feeding strays so please guide me.

My dog was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy in Jan and ever since then, he has had trouble sleeping through the night no matter what I do. Along with tiring him thoroughly; i have tried: melatonin, cbd, gabapentin, increased pheno/kbr, behavioural tactics everything. But they all seem to make him worse. It feels like he is actively fighting sleep. He wakes up between 3am-5am even if he sleeps at 12 or 1 and looks sleepy but refuses to sleep and just barks and wakes everyone up. This has been going on since jan and I am so tired.

Cbd makes him super hyperactiveand gabapentin makes him aggressive. I am at my wits end. Vets have also nothing new to add.

He is currently on 30mg pheno plus 3mg melatonin in the morning and 60mg pheno plus 3mg melatonin at night. He is a 1.5 year old labrador.

Dog (25kg) has horrible sleeping troubles and melatonin is my last resort. Vets do not prescribe melatonin in India, so I researched and for 3mg tablets for my epileptic dog. He is currently on 90mg of pheno (30-60). i have given melatonin for three days and it hasn’t worked or worked weird so far. Today’s timeline:

Brain enrichment games/physical play: 10-11:30

Late dinner (he gets hungry because of pheno) with 6mg melatonin: 11:30

General chill and play (not sleeping): 11:30-12:30

Sleeps at 12:30

Wakes up hungry and barky ar 3 am and becomes very needy

Then goes to sleep at 5am

Now if he has the same routine as yesterday (gave him 3 mg after midnight along with 6mg cbd) when he slept at 7am, he will sleep till 7:30 and wake up when the household wakes up. And then be in a daze the entire day. He was super lazy and just wanted to nap the entire day. Yesterday, he slept super tired at 10:30pm and I gave him cbd (5mg) and melatonin (3mg) at 12:30, after which he woke up completely and stayed up till 7am. Same barking and weird and hungry.

Can anyone help me understand why the meds don’t seem to work right away? Both melatonin and cbd is supposed to act within 30-90 mins. Please help. I have posted quite a few times here and the community has been amazing. Since veterinary in India is still a bit behind, I have taken suggestions from members in this group to start cbd and melatonin for my dogs insomnia. I am at my ropes end here as even a higher dose of melatonin did not work and CBD oil seems useless too.

Anyone knows any vets who euthanise dogs?

I am giving him around 6mg of CBD since a week and he has been talking 3 mg of Melatonin since yesterday. Still wakes up at night and infact seems super drowsy the entire day 😭😭😭 I have tried all permutation and combinations of these things: meds, behavioural issues, natural supplements, cbd oil, tiring him out. Nothing is working. Any one who has gone through the same thing?

Meds: morning 30mg pheno, night 60mg pheno

Vet recently stopped kbr, but he was not sleeping on it either

We have increased pheno at night, i have tried CBD oil, behavioural corrections, gabapentine and 10 other things. HE DOESNT SLEEP AND IS RESTLESS AND MY ENTIRE HOUSE HAS NOT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT IN SIX PLUS MONTHS. At this point, I regret every getting this dog and it is making me despise him. I hate that I chose this puppy and even after spending 3/4th of my day tending to him, i am stuck with this stupid dog. I love hom so much but I am so tired

Pup has a horrible time sleeping through the night and I have tried everything. Finally tried CBD oil two might ago and its not working 😞 this was my final option. All meds that are supposed to make him drowsy make him hyperactive, GABA makes him aggressive and I am lost now. Is it time to accept that till my dog lives, I won’t get a full night sleep? He always wakes up around 3-4 and stays awake barking at me, get hungry and cranky till 5-6 and then passes out.

Any other things I can try?

My pet takes bravecto every 3-4 months and it seems a bit excessive plus it’s super expensive for his weight limit (Rs2200)
I know about simparica but it doesn’t seem as effective. Any alternatives?

I have been feeling overwhelmed by the amount of desperation, sadness and pain around me and I am looking for answers that can justify it.

I am planning on adding CBD oil at night to have my pup sleep better. Has anyone tried it for that?

He is currently on 30mg pheno twice a day and kbr twice a day. I am planning on adding 5mg of cbd isoline mixed with MCT oil. Would love yo hear about everyone’s experience before tryiny

However, my family is looking at AM rishtas and how am I supposed to feel attracted to a do-gooder baniya boy😭 even thinking of them is a turn off for me lol but love marriage ka toh scope nahi, and I actually like the way AM works in my family. But how am I supposed to tell them my type lol

Labrador weighs 25 kgs and is on 60 mg of pheno admission at night around 10 pm. He is suffering from disturbed sleep cycle ever since we started his seizure meds and I am suspecting its because we give it to him at night. I want to transition his medicine time to 8 AM. Can it be done?

I posted on this sub a couple of weeks ago asking whether I will secure PhD scholarships this year and start my course abroad. Multiple uanswers were that I will secure funding and move abroad. However, I just heard from the last uucollege today that my scholarship has been rejected. this has happened in real life too where renowned astrologers have made predictions for me and my life proves them wrong. Is there an issue with my chart Because I can’t believe that everyone else is wrong.
