    Dog Owners - I Have A Question...

    Eddy the real dog had her op last week - They replaced a tendon in her back leg with a plastic one...

    She was terrible for a few days but now she is livening up again - Anyone with a Jack Russel knows what that means!....

    The problem is she can't run, jump around etc for 4 weeks at least - Is there anything to keep her calm - Like doggy valium, preferably something natural though?..

    Short of sitting on her I am out of ideas.....

    Thanks

                      magnesium is a natural calmer. I know that there are supplements that they sell specifically for calming.

                                  Dogs pick up on their environment, maybe you should get neutered and calm the whole house down.

                                  You might want to keep him in a small kennel and make sure he has plenty of things to chew on. This will restrict his movements but allow him to chew off tension.

                                          You have to crate him. It sounds horrible but it is the ONLY way to keep them safe from them hurting themselves again, especially with leg injuries. doesn't mean you don't let them out here and there but if you are not with him he will be safer in there until the inflammation goes down. As complicated as fixing a knee injury on a dog is, it is even harder to repair it a second time... and expensive.

                                              Worryingly you are not the first person to suggest I should be neutered...

                                              She would go mental shut up somewhere - We did think about a kid's play pen - I just don't think she would cope with it.....

                                                      No, it's YOU who couldn't cope with him being in a kennel/crate.

                                                      Dogs adapt, put him in one, take it from room to room as you go, let him out only to go to the bathroom. It's either that or he'll hurt himself and you'll be facing the same problem only you will be out more money and he'll have more to recuperate from.

                                                                      Good idea. Drugs don't always have the same effect on animals as they do on people. For instance, valium is given to cats to inhibit their satiety gland, stimulating their appetite.

                                                                      I assume she has one of those Elizabethan collars to prevent her from chewing on the leg - if it were unwieldy enough it might slow her down a bit. But, Jack Russels (btw, I know a guy named Jack Russel - hearing someone say his name cracks me up every time) being as frenetic as they are, crating her may very likely be your best option.

                                                                      The best Adult Affiliate Programs reviewed and indexed by niche and feature.

One meal a day replace with the raw beef. Your criminal drug pushing vet will never tell you this info. I am actually shocked that the vet did not prescribe some sedatives.
