I think I need to re-home my little Lola... - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am glad that you are trying different things to make her feel more comfortable. With a little time things should work out for her and your family. Sending good thoughts to all of you

I am so happy it is working out for you and Lola. I know your heart was breaking thinking about rehoming her. Praying things will only continue to get better for you.

I am very happy for you and Lola and your whole family. I was also wondering if you've tried Chamomile Tea?

No I haven't do I just brew it....cool it down and then hope she drinks it? Does your pup like it?

I am sooooo glad to read all the effort you are making for sweet Lola. While our house isn't wild and crazy (unless football is on) Georgie does cower sometimes and shake. My husband or myself just rubs his belly and reassures him it's ok. My son is 5 and we have worked with him to understand Georgie is small and he needs to relax. It's actually quite nice because he's learned to be quiet and gentle. Again, I really glad things are working out! You have a great family and I know Lola is a happy girl

Doodlebug · 08-20-2013, 07:04 PM

I hope everything works out. You are doing great!

Maximo · 08-20-2013, 07:05 PM

I am very happy to hear that Lola is still with you and that you are making progress in helping Lola feel safe and comfortable. Wishing you both the very best.

I was grieving and she hadn't even left our home...it was terrible. My husband finally said please stop crying and lets try to figure something out.

We decided to gate her into our family room...which weirdly is a very crowded spot but the family mainly comes in to sit and watch TV. We also bought her a smaller crate which we placed under an end table flanked by two chairs. It looks like a little cave and I think the chairs on either side and the table above and the cover on it buffers some of the sound and craziness. It gives her a place to go and it is next to "my chair" which I think also gives her peace of mind.

It is not the perfect solution but I think she feels like she has her very own safe zone verses cowering under a dark couch or a closet or behind the toilet. Yuk. I also bought this calming aroma therapy dog plug in oil thingy which is plugged in near her cave. I think it helps....maybe? I have not talked to the vet about anxiety medicine yet but I have tried calming/soothing treats and I definitely think they help. If she is having a hard day I give her treat and she goes and takes a nice little nap. Good times for my baby.

I will keep you all posted if anything changes.

So glad things are going better

Aww, I'm so happy that things are working out for you with sweet Lola. You're such a good mommy! Best wishes to both of you.

I'm glad things are improving. It is so hard to re-home a loved pet, I know this for a fact.

I'm glad to hear that things are going better.

Yes...or you can cold brew it in the fridge. You can dilute it, too, or mix it into food, etc. Lots of humans drink it, too. I love it!

Sorry for taking so long to reply...got busy with some stuff, but wanted to check for updates.
