Thanks for the suggestions, Unfortunately sleeping on the floor with her and my head right next to the crate opening did not work. She would thrash herself around in there. I stuck my fingers in the front of it and she scratches at them. I tried treats. I even put her blanket in there i brought her home with. and played with one of her little squeeky ducks and she would run in it and back out but the moment you shut that door she unleshes a rath of fury.
My vet said her ear infection was there prior to her ever being shipped. Yeast and Mites was what was found in the swab. They even showed me what it looked like under the microscope and honestly i've been itching ever since. We have drops, 3 drops each each twice a day for the first 7 days then every other day for the next 7 days.. Shes good and does not shake her head when i put them in and massage the drops in but its a fight getting her to sit still to get them in. She wants nothing to do with patience.
Today is my first day back at work so i created a large play area for her in my front bathroom that has open floors and room to stretch and play. I left yesterday for a few hours and set her up the same way and she did good. She carried on like she does in the crate minus the thrashing but after a few minutes she was fine. She did not bark at me or anything until i acknowledged her when i got back. She even did her business on the 2 peepads i laid down and not on my bath mats which i was shocked. She pooped on one and peed only on the other. I thought that was cute.
What can i do to get her to settle down when I'm ready to for bed? |
