I have tried a lot of things with Layla, including putting something under the carrier. We thought maybe it was because the seat slopes back but when we fixed that it didn't stop her crying either. I used to take her to a holistic vet twice a week and it was TERRIBLE! She was so uncomfortable and scared. I'm just praying Scott can make his time there last until Christmas... when we go back to work in January her crate rest will almost be over. Then I'd feel a little more safe.
Last night Layla slept in her crate. She is not used to that anymore since we've had her in her bed lately and were just able to bring her crate home from my office yesterday. Well, I have been awake since 3:30 this morning because Layla just didn't want to be in there anymore and she wouldn't stop crying!
I know it means she's feeling better but she needs to stay in there.
I don't think I mentioned this yesterday, but her pain seems to be gone. She can easily turn her head in both directions, and up and down, and she is hating being cooped up! I expressed her in the bathroom at my office yesterday, and I put her down so I could clean up after and she immediately scooted to the door, wanting to scoot back to the desk like usual! But that's not allowed on crate rest so I had to pick her up and carry her. She doesn't understand why she can't just get back to being normal! But it's for her own good.
