update on jrt with panic attacks

[samstar]

Went along to the behavouralist yesterday and for this week my task is to give her small feeds 5-6 times a day as she thinks its a unbalance of blood sugars, you know when we go high and low when our body hasn't eaten properly.

I have to take away her kong ball as she says wouldn't you be frustrated if you see some tasty food but cannot reach it.
Have to give her the small sticks of hide to chew on, as in the wild when they eat a carcass they will chew on the bones for upto 4 hours, and this will help her boredom.

Also to get a smoked bone with the filling(and when thats eaten) to fill with normal food to give her the satisfaction of gnawing.

Will update on how her reactions change.

Oh well at least you have something positive to work on - fingers crossed that these changes help a bit, do keep us updated with what happens

Thankyou Acolyte_ I will keep you updated on anything that changes.

Interested about the Kong idea BTW - I gave Flick one last night stuffed with Butchers Tripe for the first time, it was spotlessly clean this morning

The smell was dreadful though, off to buy some paste or something today to go into it next time

With the kong I suppose its not all dogs that get stressy, mine loved peanut butter in hers.
Have done the small portion of food and she turned her nose up at it and walked away, so have taken it away and will put down for her in a hour.
And I thought kids were fussy.
