We have had Odin home with us for 2 weeks (he is 11 weeks old tomorrow), for the first 12 days were were both home with him all day everyday but now it is time to go back to work. While we were on vacation we would put him in his crate for various lengths of time to get him used to it. One of the first times we left him at home in his crate for about 2 hours when we got home he was barking/crying like crazy. We took him outside immediately to pee and he threw up a little bit of food...I figured this was from anxiety??? This has happened twice more over the two weeks and it is always when he has barked or cried for our attention (and to get out of his crate). Is this something you've ever heard of? He is otherwise eating/drinking/peeing/pooping/playing normally. Actually, twice when we left him in his crate he has had runny poop, again is this an anxiety issue?
He sleeps in his crate fine every night (in our bedroom), and we get up with him once or twice in the night to let him out to do his business. When we put him in his crate we give him a small treat (usually a small piece of fruit) so he associates his crate with something good and does not cry, or at least not until he has been in there for a couple hours.
