Billy cowering in the bedroom

Lots of fireworks going off outside he is scared in the bedroom, last time on bonfire night he weed all over our quilt hope he is fine should we ignore him

Luckily Duke and Dhaysi are fine with fireworks and yes hun I would say ignore him turn the tv up or music and close the curtains hun Its aweful to see them distressed - horrible darn fireworks x

Thanks, we tried hiding some treats to keep his mind off it, but he wasn't interested, just went up to the bedroom, ( hope he does not wee on it tonight)

Sometimes a few drops of Rescue Remedy in there bowl helps other than that if he is really bad you can get a mild sedative from the vets

Our old Lab used to be petrified and used to try and dig him self out of the kitchen through the kitchen wall poor lad it can be so terrifying for them.

Good idea Allison, got some rescue remedy thanks Hun

No probs hun glad to help and big hugs to Billy xx

Big hugs to duke and dhaysi
><

Thanks hun they are fine Dhaysi chillaxing on the sofa doing her usual whoop whooping and eyes twitching fifty to the dozen and duke is snoring his head off on the other sofa with hubby lol they are like two peas in a pod hehehe

Get some toys out and coax him in, are the boys there?

You can take his mind off it I'm sure

No boys out Janey tried treats will try toys thanks

Do you have a kong hun could fill that with some treat so it takes his mind off the fireworks hun and gives him to focus on x

Good idea, thank you

Hope he was ok last night!

We also had an eventful night, one I hadn't predicted as Tinkerbell is fine with fireworks to the extent she will go out and watch them. But my 2 year old son woke loads last night and kept coming in to tell us he was scared of "big bangs". He finally nodded off in his bed, and he has now woke this morning asking where the fireworks are.

Hope all the doggies were okay with the fireworks

Nah , don't b tough and give him a big cuddle, we've suffered 2 trashed quilts now on fireworks night , our old boy a Border Collie Cross we got some valium off the vet and gave him half a tab and he chilled out completely and peed on the quilt , so New Year we soldiered through it and he bricked it and peed on the quilt
Tilly was very jumpy last year but ok whan there was no noise to let her out for a wee, but then a firework went off outside and she was back in like a greyhound out of a trap.
We bought her a Thundershirt a couple of months ago mainly for the car (with not brilliant results so far but improved) Put it on her last night and she didn't flinch a bit , but she did go into super lazy mode to get her to go out for a wee, not fighting it just couldnt be bothered, its definitely worth a shot.

Vlad didn't care. He looked up at one point but went straight back to sleep... I think he was annoyed at being woken. Slept the entire night. He woke up at 8.15 this morning and barked to be let outside for a pee! Only once has he been "distressed" by a big crack of thunder but we really think the noise just shocked him awake and he settled. We think we will invest in a "Thundershirt" just in case this does change.

Poor Billy. Tyson was ok but I had a problem with Endo the bull dog. Ty seemed to have calmed him down though and we got through it.

Poor Billy. I hope he wasn't too unsettled all night and he's ok today ><

We had idiots setting off fireworks just outside where we live last night. Some people have no brains what so ever. Rocky gets very stressed out by them. We just stay with him and try to calm him.
