Sometimes even while she's eating and sleeping. She does not seem to be in pain and has a clean bill of health from the vet. She was always a verbal dog, but the whining is now constant and driving me crazy. I am convinced that she is miserable and is not at all adapting to being blind. She is also the alpha dog - not sure if this has anything to do with it or not. I have tried ignoring her, paying more attention to her, scolding her, nothing seems to work. I don't know how to help her. Any suggestions? |
There's a big red flag to me...if a year has passed since this diagnosis she may have something "new" going on that's causing the nonstop whining.
Two more red flags are these, whining while eating & sleeping!
Please take her in to see your Vet and if you are not satisfied with his conclusions find another Vet or Specialist.
Best of luck to you & your lil' girl!
