Hi! Im so glad I found this website. I'm new and have a question I need to get advice for.
I have two minature dachshunds. One of our mini doxies had puppies three weeks ago. Our other doxie has always been sensitive, thats just her personality. Well, recently, the past week she has started thinking that Suzies puppies are hers. She whines and cries constantly, and I mean constantly. We've babygated her away but she cries even while we're holding her- all through the night- Im afraid she's going to worry herself to death. I caught her this morning with the puppies while I had run Suzie outside. Came back in, Kayla had the puppies licking them to go to the bathroom, snuggling, trying to nurse them- Suzie walked in there and starred at me to move her. I of course moved Kayla out and then had to hear her cry at the top of her lungs for an hour before we could calm her down. We take her outside, she puts the brakes on, she stands at the babygate shaking and crying to get in. We've got new toys, treats, try taking her out to the park etc... nothing is working, special treatment is not working and I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions???? Im really scared she's going to hurt herself. She truly thinks these babies are hers.
Hope to hear from anyone soon!
Jess
