PLEASE HELP

Since my girl had her op a couple of months ago, she has turned into even more of a nightmare than normal

We can't leave the house and leave her here on her own, she tries to escape out the front door, goes absolutely nuts

She has started using our bed as her personal toilet (discusting) I just don't know what to do next  !!!!!!

What op? Do you mean spaying?

No she had a tumour removed from her back

Have you tried crating her and leaving her with something like a kong to keep her busy while your out?

I daren't crate her as when we rescued her we were told all her teeth are broken because of her trying to escape out of cages.

She doesn't have one full tooth in her head, she's had a kong it didn't work

Chance chewed his crate and chipped his teeth, and he's a rescue but LOVES his crate now

Many dogs without teeth get on great with kongs, they use their tongue to empty them

Yea don't get me wrong, she sleeps in her crate but only with the door open or she freaks out

Sounds like to me she was never proper desensitized to her crate, i'd go back to basics with it.

Or you could try putting baby gates up, so she is confined to certain parts of the house

It sounds as though she was possibly traumatised by the operation & is now suffering from separation anxiety.

Try going back to leaving her for a minute or two at a time and gradually increase it.

We have baby gates up, she attacks them, cuts her mouth to bits

Yea we have started doing that, she attacks the front door before we are out the gate, I'm sure she was traumatised too as she wasn't this bad before

Don't go as far as the gate yet. Confine her to one room & just stand outside the front door for seconds! Then come back in.

You could try an Adaptil plug in and/or spray.

We don't go through the gate, just make a noise with it. But yea we will leave it a few seconds rather than 30 seconds thanks

Do have a think about the Adaptil, though, they may help to calm her down a little.

Adaptil works wonders, I've got the plug in and used it when my son went back to work and Darcy would be left on her own for 2/3 hours 3 times a week

Thanks ladies, Adaptil bought today and plugged in, we started her on serene-um tabs about 3 days ago and will get the adaptil collar end of month

Please let us know how you get on.

good luck

You'll get there! Let us know how you get on. 

Yes good luck and let us know how you getting on.
