Raven's cancer *Final recheck, pg 38 (post 568)*

Where do Tommy & Tasha stay when you're gone? Does being around them help her at all? With time, hopefully this can be overcome.

They can have run of the house but I have generally been gating them in the room with her in hopes it would help, however it doesn't seem to make any difference. Her fear/anxiety seems to involve me. Now she is not a clingy pup, if I'm home and she is running the house she is often off in another room or area of the house and I'm chasing her down to make sure she's not getting into something . But being closed off somewhere with me out of sight seems to trigger her fear of being left. Hopefully the meds will help along with working with her. I've been feeding her gated in my room away from me and the T's. She eats fine and has been relaxed with that so I'm doing that every day to give her a good experience with being confined with me out of sight.

I had read about a D.A.P. diffuser and collars too, and may try that as well. http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/beha...haviorprob.htm

It's so good to hear Ravens checkup went well! I hope the pills and time will help with her anxiety.
