Ok I have a big problem. Bazinga has giardia...and is starting his 4th round of meds today. We indoor potty train and leave Bazinga in his bathroom overnight so he has access to food, water, and his pee-pad. We've decided that he's re-infecting himself because he eats his poop if we don't immediately remove it out of his room.
My vet recommended crating him overnight, to avoid him deficating at night. When we got Bazinga, I bought a 200 series Dog Whisperer crate, one of the plastic ones w/ the wire door & wire top. He HATES it. He cries and cries when we put him in it. I also bought a little canvas dog carrier from Petsmart, that he really likes. It's canvas, a lot smaller than crate, but he can still turn around in it & has a bolster bed in the bottom. For some reason he will even go lay in it for no reason. This tells me that he feels safe there.
My husband wants Bazinga to like the other crate, so he says that we're gonna crate Bazinga in it over night tonight...HELP! Is it possible he doesn't feel safe in the other crate because it's too big?? I just don't know what to do. And my hubby says "we bought it, so he's gonna like it..." which us women folk know isn't true....but maybe I'm babyin' him too much.
