I just needed to stick this in here somewhere hoping somone has an idea to help my baby Belle. Since the day we brought Belle home at 12 weeks and 2 pounds she has been attached to her big brother TJ our 85 pound Lab. He was her security, her playtoy, her everything. TJ was 13 and had Cushings disease, he was beginning to get sicker and doing odd things he had never done before.The vet said we could operate and remove the tumor and try all these different medications. HE IS 13, why would we put him through that?? We finally had to put him down about 3 weeks ago. We took Belle with so she would know where TJ went instead of looking and waiting for him. After he was gone, she sniffed him and kept pushing at him to get up, it was so sad I still cry alot. We moved about 2 weeks later and Belle has developed severe seperation anxiety. I have not left her alone for 1 minute. Either my DH or myself is with her all the time. When my husband goes to work she lays by the door and cries. I try to keep her busy but sometimes it's hard to keep her attention. Any suggestions what I might try to help her? I would love to get another puppy for her but the cottages we live in don't allow dogs unless your doctor says they are needed for your health. Belle is what keeps my depression from going to deep. Any help would be so appreciated, I can't bear the thought of leaving her alone.
