Rainy Issue Update #9

Day eleven

Still no xanax. I started her on 200mg of L-theanine twice a day and we also stated giving some Soloxin tonight. I'm going to slowly wean her of the prozac because I think it's making her worse.

Tonight we just did a nice long Walnut around the neighborhood. No sniffing allowed, just fast walking with the occasional jog. Sunshine came along and acted like we were killing her. She does not do long walks happily!

After our walk u opened the van door and had both dogs jump in and lay down. Rainy was at level 10 of anxiety again. I just stood there reading my mail. As soon as she slowed her shaking a little I told them to jump out and we went inside.

A couple hours later I took Rainy back out by herself, had her lay down in the car and did the same thing. The instant she showed in her shaking we hopped out and walked a few feet. Turned around and asked her to go back in and lay down. Still was at the same level of anxiety, but the third time I had her hop back in she was a tiny bit calmer. We ended on that one.

Extremely tiny improvement without any of the hard drugs but at least she's not running into walls. At this rate is going to take us years to go on a car ride! I can be patient if it means she can be fixed and relaxed again.
