Our girl Maisie suffers from kennel syndrome.
I've written, ad nauseum, before about her constant rushing back and forth in a low crawl looking for any avenue of escape from threats perceived or not.
Our vet put her on a drug for three months now (starts with an "A" I am at work and having brain fog, can't remember it) a mild sedative to see how she does. She does the same. No change. If it is not working I do not feel spending more money and putting it into the poor, freaked out, girl is something we want to do.
It matters not to dogs with kennel syndrome that the threat is not really there, to them, it is always there unless they are in a crate somewhere. We have thought to just let her live out her life in a crate (door open for free roam) if that makes her happier, but that still doesn't work when we have to go out, and we take our dogs with us rambling and roaming all the time.
Someone has suggested cannabis oil for dogs. Anyone tried it? Does it help?
Prozac, anyone?
Whoever it was here who told me kennel syndrome dogs never get over it...amen, sister you are right. We recently moved the backstop behind our basketball net and it is leaning as in a V formation...Maisie now wants to either run under a large pine to pee or behind that fence. Once there, she will not come out until she is good and ready to. It hurts to see her so.
