Moving concerns We will be moving into our new home this weekend and I'm so worried about my little boy Frankie. I have had him for almost 2 years and the home I'm in now he is used to and loves. I wouldn't say he has high anxiety but I would say he is anxious at times. To make matters worse he doesn't like the car and actually prefers to stay at home where he feels safe. I was wondering if anyone has gone through a move and how long it will take for him to settle in and feel comfortable again. He has issues with his throat (I think collapsed trachea although never diagnosed) where he starts panting and then he makes this raspy honking sound when he breathes heavy. So it's better to keep him calm and avoid these episodes. He gets so excited when we go somewhere and come home and I just want him to feel like that about the new house. |
If there was something you could bring with you from the "old" house, like a piece of carpet or a rug or something....of course, all your furniture will be moved to the new house....I was just thinking maybe a piece of rug or carpet from the place he is so familiar with, would help with transitioning.... |

You know, he may surprise you with how well he adjusts. He has you and all of his stuff, he'll probably settle in fairly quickly. |

Just make sure that in the new place, you can make readily available a space that has "his stuff" and something (ie, a blanket?) that smells like you...that will all smell/feel familiar. Other things you could try if you want: pheromone collar or plug-in, aromatherapy calming sprays or balms (spray on body or balm on top of head and ears), melatonin (3mg, non-time release) for anxiety, or a prescription for something from the vet for anxiety...which they should be open to giving especially since your kiddo likely has CT, and you want to avoid triggering it. |
