I am sorry you lost your chi. My Maltese had a major heart attack during the night as well. Found her on the floor in her favorite spot in the morning. Doesn't matter how they go, as long as it is fast and painless. Your chi I am sure found comfort in being so close to you, and that counts for a lot. Still miss those babies. But I find relief from my sorrow knowing that they are happy and whole at the bridge waiting for me. All past pets are holes in our hearts....every single one of them.

At Pet Camp she plays with all the other Chis - as well as larger dogs. Last year I lost one to epilepsy and another had a heart attack getting her nails done at the Vets. thanks, Cheryl. dianne ~d From: Mommabear7772004 <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2013 3:13 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Daisy - separation anxiety That's a hard one , Dianne . The only thing I can think of is another chi to keep her company . They do seem to have a preference for other Chis . I do know of calming herbs but their effect is kind of short term and I have no idea if they are safe for dogs , You are at work all day ? Is there a friend she could stay with while you are at work ?

I am now also rehoming my daughter's dog, an older, epi - jack russell since January 2013. Daisy's separation anxiety - loud screeching when i leave for work in the am has increased even with Leo at home. So i end up taking her to Pet Camp where she has plenty of attention and play with other dogs. There is the issue of cost for this. I am considering some herbs or other remedies. The Thunder Shirt does not work unfortunately She is a sweetheart at home. On walks she becomes aggressive towards other dogs so I go for avoidance as much as possible. Would you have any suggestions. I have spoken to a vet to suggest treatment including acupunture. My concern is how this impacts her health - if i am to ignore it but it's so very hard to leave her and hear the screaming. thanks very much dianne ~d
