As most of you know, it's been craziness at my house the last week… and I haven't spent as much time w/Wally as I normally do. In the past week, Wally has lunged at 3 of us… every time it's been later at night (after 6pm) and he's been asleep either on the chair or couch. He starts a warning growl, and then lunges out… he did it first to Lily, then to me 2 nights ago and last night he lunged at Ray. He hasn't bit any of us, just a lunge then he realizes what's happened and he jumps down. I took him to the vet this morning, because I saw Marcus lean on his back hips the other day so I was thinking that maybe he had hurt him or something. She did a thorough check on him and he appears fine… no crying or whimpering… she told me to give him some Metacam for the next 10 days just in case he pulled a muscle or something. There is no issues mobility that she could find right now… so we are leaning towards this being behavioral
She told me to look into getting the Adaptil Collar… I haven't gone on the website, but she says that it is activated by body heat and releases a calming pheromone constantly. She said many of her patients have had success w/the collars… I was curious if anyone has tried one?!!
Also if you guys have any comments/advice on what is going on w/Wally, I'm all ears… I honestly don't know what is going on…
