Thanks Donna. He has been off his feet completely for 1 1/2 days except for maybe a total of 2-3 hours and he seems much improved. Today I only gave him a 1/2 sedative and put him in a crate (which he absolutely HATES!) about an hour after giving it to him so I could go grocery shopping. A half pill didn't do anything to slow him down because he was suffering from his "weekend separation anxiety." He's fine during the week because we are on a routine plus he's not normally crated. But the weekends are a totally different story.
My husband said he barked non-stop for almost an hour today while I was gone. Poor little guy............too bad he doesn't realize I'm crating him for his own good. But again, he is walking more normal today.
Toby will eat anything! I am going to get some canned carrots (low sodium). I do have some canned green beans but there is so much sodium in canned vegetables I think I'll get a small bag of frozen green beans (like SteamFresh) and cook them in the microwave and keep them in the fridge for him. I have cut way back on treats (they only get 1-2 itty bitty buddy biscuits a day now.) He's not liking that and neither is Speedy. But they both need to lose weight. I thought about going back to Cheerios but I like the idea of the veggies better. I just dread leaving the house again now that he's calmed down and sleeping next to me in the recliner.
