Yes, she is very new to my home, I just rescued her from the shelter yesterday. She has a horrific injury to her one eye that we're treating and hoping the eye can be saved right now, but even then the eye is covered with cataracts, as is her "good" eye. She's completely blind.
I have been trying to mostly confine her to my bedroom and the living room, but she's having a hard time with that, if she hears me and there's a baby gate or something to keep her safe that prevents her from getting to me it really upsets her right now. I'm sure alot of her anxieties about that will improve as she settles in and realizes that I'm not going anywhere, and she's not going to get abandoned again! |
You know some people who are training puppies tether the pup to themselves with a leash and just take them every where they go. That way they can observe them at all times and when they start acting like they have to pee get them outside or to the pee pad. That might help with your little rescue girl. Just keep her on a leash with you as much as you can. That way she will feel comfortable being with you and you will at the same time be training her concerning her new surroundings. Of course it may slow you down a bit but I think it would help her in many ways. She does need to have at least one room where she feels comfortable when you are away. I'm so glad you saved her. Just imagine the nightmare she has been through!
