We went through this with Smokey. When we got him he was 6 months old and had been shifted from home to home like a piece of furniture.

After 2 weeks of scrubbing crates, floors, and giving him baths, we let him and Chip have free roam of our bedroom together and voila! He was cured and he gained back the 7 lbs he lost from getting sick. To this day if we leave him gated by himself, he freaks out. Is there a way you could get him a companion? Take him to a doggie day care? Take him to a friend's house that has a doggie friend? If not, there are herbal supplement type things that you can get to calm him down. I haven't tried any of those, but I've heard mixed reviews as to whether they work or not. |
The poop looks normal actually. At night he is fine... there was only once he got from behind the gate at night and slept by my door. So my only problem is leaving the house. He is 8 months old and I don't want him just running the house because every blue moon he will still chew on some things. Prince actually should be getting a sister in about 5 weeks, but she will only be 8 wks old (thats why i want him out of this habit, so i have time to housebreak her as well). I pray to god that a playmate helps and doesnt hurt. I take him to play with my friends Chihuahuas but one of them are way too hyper and prince is pretty laid back so that wasnt a good fit.
