 Day 3
Sydney isn't showing much improvement and I am worried. She seems excessively stressed about her cone-collar.
When I got home from work yesterday she seemed to have developed a severe case of seperation anxiety. She was super-glued to my leg. when I would stand still she would put her little cone-head (face first) against my leg and just keep it there until I moved and then she would do the same thing all over again. She just wanted to be touching me at all times even if it was just my leg. She seems very sad (I haven't seen her tail up once since the surgery). If there is a loud noise (like if I sneeze) she shakes and acts afraid. This is totally NOT like her at all...she is usually such a brave little killer dog.
I really think that she thinks that the cone-collar is some kind of punishment...and I feel horrid about it. But it is for her own good and so I can't take it off for about a week. She is so sad. The only time she seemed happy at all yesterday was when her Daddy came home from work. She makes me want to cry every time I look at her. |
