For the record, OF COURSE I accept some barking. I've had other dogs before. Barking is one way that dogs communicate. It is NOT normal for a dog to bark continually and work itself into a state of frenzied panic that lasts for four hours while a worker is trying to install cable TV. Although I explained the situation at the beginning of my thread, perhaps the person replying didn't read it or didn't understand the situation. Like I said, ignorance.
The good news is that the Prozac resulted in some improvement. Instead of being inconsolable while our furnace was being inspected, Bella was consolable. It's not just for me, it's for her well-being as well.
After the second two-month prescription runs out, the vet wants to see Bella again to re-evaluate. I'll question the vet more pointedly and report back on what she says. |
Maybe it is just ignorance. When people question anxiety it gets me upset because I live on the human side of that and it’s so hard when people don’t understand. Several years ago Callie went through night anxiety and had to go on Prozac and I never doubted trying it. I feel bad for the dogs who have to suffer such anxiety and the owners are so against it they don’t help them. Anyway I’m glad it is helping.
