I gave Snoopy his first dose of phenabarb with the valium yesterday morning. He had started to adjust to the valium alone and was not whining quite as much and not quite as agitated. The two medicines together must have upset his equilibrium again because the whining has started again and he is just as restless and he has started barking at me like I should know what he wants - and I don't. The vet had said the pb would knock him out - he would probably only have enough energy to get up and go out to do his "business" and come back in to sleep until he adjusts to it in 2-3 weeks. Obviously she doesn't know Snoopy's make up. I am not sure anything would knock that boy out.

I had to go to Tiffin to take my mom to her oncologist yesterday afternoon so I am not sure how his time in his kennel went - I imagine he slept. But when I got home about 7:30 last night he was full of his usual energy. He has started to play with the other dogs some but he seems to be too rough as they - especially Dazzi - snaps at him warning him to calm down!

I am praying that this medicine does work, he adjusts to taking it and he calms down! I can't really be upset with him because I know he is feeling "different" and he doesn't know why either. Poor Snoopy!
