Can you confine him to an area where he will cause no harm? Perhaps
try some sort of sedatives or catnip or ????? to relieve whatever
anxieties he may have? I am a big believer in Feliway and Rescue
Remedy. This is assuming he is having some problems because of
anxiety and/or is picking up on your anxiety over the problems.
Just ideas.
If there are no a/cs in your area, most will consult by phone.
Here is the emails of two I know personally: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Ann Baumbach) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Judy Guetig Greenberg).
You can email them and ask questions re their qualifications,
prices, etc. There are wonderful articles on the internet if you
Google for them. This is a website that has some information on
it: http://www.horizonvetserv.com You can do this yourself but you
may find that you are too close to the situation. As always, I am
putting this on the table. Take what works for you and leave the
rest. If none of it feels right to you, do not feel bad. We are
all on our own paths and they are not the same.
Good luck.

Thanks Marylyn and Sally. I have never heard of an animal
communicator. And no Sally I haven't taken him to the vet. We
agreed though that we are going to before making a decision. My
husband said he got so angry last night for what Lennie had done
but says he doesn't want to have him put down if we can make some
changes that may help him. I gave my husband a good lashing about
getting angry about a poor old senile guy not knowing what he's
doing and reminded him that there may come a day that he craps
himself and hopefully no one will get angry at him. He's always
been very close to Len, and I know he doesn't want to lose him. SO
we are going to make an appointment to have him checked out and see
if there is anything to help him. The only problem is, you know
yourself that some vets will order every test ever invented and
prescribe a ton of medication that honestly serves no purpose. I
can almost predict what Len's vet will do. Prednisone and
antibiotics, more blood work maybe even an x-ray. I've practically
broke the bank with BooBoo, Snowy and Len. Still, we'll take him
in for treatment and work on making a plan to help with "mistakes"
at night. AND I am going to search around to see if there is an
animal communicator in my area.
Again, thanks girls for the advice.
Lynne
