Friends, My Beagle, Abby Is On Bed Rest And Will Be For 6-8 Weeks. It’s…

Friends, my beagle, Abby is on bed rest and will be for 6-8 weeks. It’s been a little bit over than a week and I think she is getting fussy/lonely. She would always howl and bark during the day & night. As much as we want to keep her company and be with her 24/7, it’s hard because we all have school, work and other obligations.

When she first started doing this, the family thought there was something wrong and rushed to her side but she just wants to be petted and see people. It’s getting very annoying to having to wake up at 1am because she won’t stop howling or barking, especially when we have to wake up the next day, and sometimes (this is what’s told by my vet) we would ignore her because she has to learn that this might be her life now for a long time and she needs to learn how to self sooth and accept the fact that no one is there to clean her poop or pee right a way…

I understand where my pet is coming from, we cannot communicate with them and they cannot communicate with us. My dog is probably terrified out of her mind as to why she cannot move and has to stay, and truths to be told, I would be bored too if I had to stay in bed for 6-8 weeks. We’ve tried our best to keep her company when we can, but if any owners out there can provide us with some advice as to entertainment wise for pets (maybe a bone she can snack on without gaining so much weight), or some kind of a toy that can keep her entertained, it would be much appreciated.

    Try diapers for one. For two give that dog as much attention you can when your home. Do not give up.

    I didn’t read back so I don’t have all the details, but I’ll bet your dog is terrified and looking to you to fix it. Is she in pain? Dogs absolutely do communicate with us. If I told you some of what my dogs do you’d be convinced. All animals communicate with people but you have to “listen”. Her barking and howling and having to soil her crate have her totally stressed and frightened, Her whole life has changed. Your vet should be giving her something for anxiety. Same as with people…stress is a killer. Her howling is a cry for help. How can you ignore that?

    buying kitten formula would be great at this age , also theres nothing wrong maybe he or she was a runt and never had such a owwner like yourself . i study dog not cats much so i wouldint know much to tell you . 

  2. Dawson Crawford

    the thing is, he wont eat unless im next to him. And i have school studies.

  3. Craig Ogle

    Sorry to tell you U really need to just do your studies and don’t worry he will eat when he gets hungry its like cuttin the apron strings early keep telling him you got food in your bowl go eat

    I don’t know about learning to be an animal doctor by reading a book — but I will suggest that you start volunteering your time with a vet or animal clinic.  You will learn how to work with animals, and get enough exposure to understand if you really want to make this your life’s work.  

  2. Eboni Wright

    great idea ! but does it count that i already have pets at home and watch the surgery videos on youtube .

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Yes that helps but you still need to volunteer at a vet’s office.

I have a very active Pomchi (pomeranian/chihuahua mix), he was playing fine then I noticed him limping. Front left foot. He is not whimpering and I can move his paw back and forth. Do you think it is a slight sprain? What can I do?

    It could be a slight sprain, but it’s more likely he stepped on something.  I would check the paw carefully for injuries or something lodged between his toes.

    Other than that I would watch him for a few days and try to keep him resting and if he is still painful on Monday I would take him to your local vet.

    Can you give the older cat her own space? Sounds like she needs a break…

    Is your dog a new dog? Is your mom a new person to your dog? For the first 2 or 3 months of having my puppy, she responded emotionally less to me as well. She is more affectionate to my husband because she barely sees him, so she likes him more. Also, it’s beneficial to always reward with a treat every time.

  2. Yousef Radwan

    Thnx for your feedback, I’ll try to improve my relation with him.
