retraining!  by letting her out of the crate when she cries, you’re reinforcing the idea that crying = freedom from the crate.  just gotta let her cry it out until she gets used to the old routine.

Unfortunately,I agree that you now have to retrain. 

A few suggestions…place the crate in your busiest room during the day and put her in it for short 3 minute periods and work your way up to longer times ie. 15 min to half hour. Praise her and give treats for quiet but no eye contact or “you’re okay” for whining. 

Next step would be doing this without her being able to see you. 

I would suggest putting the crate in your bedroom at night and praising her when she is quiet but making no sound when she is whining. I do this but sleep in a different room from my husband so that one of us gets a good sleep. And whatever you do, do not put her in the bed with you or you will end up going through all this again, I agree  with the other person who answered, that you are then training your smart puppy that if she persists with her crying then you get to sleep in the bed. She enjoys being around you so much and wants to be as close to you as possible. 

Eventually we move the crate further and further from the bed and then outside the door and to the designated crate place. We also continue to leave the door open to the crate during the day and our dog often is found sleeping inside. 

It may also help to put your tshirt that you wore that day in her crate with her. 

Good luck. 

She goes in fine during the day, actually when I put my shoes on she goes in and sits and waits for me to close the door. It’s only at night that there is the problem

i’m not sure what those symptoms are, but i would be calling a vet about this as soon as they open, if not sooner.

Yes take her to a Vet….there is obviously something going on with her foot that needs investigating.

Hello Carrie, there is obviously something very wrong with your dog. We can’t tell you what but he needs to see a Vet urgently.

It could possibly be a toxin or poison the way it started on his face and has spread….though it could be something else entirely. 

You need to take him to a Vet urgently. Someone on here mentioned Care Credit perhaps you could try them…but this is an emergency it seems your dog is getting worse and needs urgent treatment. 

Hello,
It’s hard to say what could be going on…Is your dog spayed? Has she eaten anything abnormal? Is she eating/ drinking/peeing/pooping….
It sounds like a vet trip is in need, crying and acting painful is a cause for concern that you should get her seen by a vet.
Good luck!

that looks infected, he probably broke a nail under the skin and it has gotten infected. I would take him to the vet.  You could soak his paw in warm water and epsom salts and it may help the pain some

I am so sorry your dog went through this, you must be devastated to have lost him in this traumatic way.

If you want to take this further then I suggest you write to the Organization who deals with Veterinary Complaints in your Country. I’m in the UK so don’t know who it is, but I’m sure you will find them online. 

You would need to send all the notes/invoicss from the Vet who dealt with him and also possibly a Report from the last Vet you took him to. 

It is really not ethical for us to comment about this on here. However, I am very sad this has happened to your dog. My thoughts are with you. 

did you get a necropsy done?  that’s the only real way to determine what caused the death of your dog.

i am very sorry for your loss.  it hurts, when we lose them young.  i know your pain – i lost a puppy to a birth defect a couple of years ago and it still hurts to think of him.  please give yourself time to grieve.  if you truly feel the vet didn’t do everything he could to save your dog, then yes, contact the governing body in your country.  if your location is correct, and you’re in Tanzania, here’s the website: http://www.mifugouvuvi.go.tz/vertinary-council-of-tanzania/

this is going to sound really, really weird, but…if you have grief counseling in your area, consider it. it was one of the best things for me. it really helped me deal with the death of my puppy. he was my first dog, and the suddenness of it was such a shock to the system that i really didn’t know what i was going to do or how i was going to recover.

i wish you solace, Ankeet.

Counselling helped me too Laura though my boy was 16 and had always been there. Its very hard to deal with.

Well I can’t know if it’s too late to examine his body because he died on sunday 30th Aug 2015 now I don’t know if it’s body will be ok or not if yes then I will go for examining the body so that the other Vet who gave injection should be stopped from practising his services he is not a qualified one I think so .

i read an article that i agree with quite a bit…it said that people grieve as much for a lost pet as we do for lost people. i think it’s because we spend SO MUCH time with our pets, and they give so much love to us.

it hit right as i was dealing with my loss, and it helped.

Ankeet, this might help you like it helped me. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/the-death-of-pet-can-hurt-as-much-as-the-loss-of-a-relative/2012/02/21/gIQALXTXcS_story.html

people who say “it’s just a dog” or “it’s just a cat” or hell, “it’s just a turtle” really don’t understand. and i pity them. they’ve never experienced that kind of love or grief.

there needs to be more dialog about the grief that comes with losing a pet.
