So I need your advice.
I think I've created a monster.
My Vogue has been licking her butt, not consistently. And over the last 6 months I've gone through the check list:
Anal glands
Changing proteins in her raw fed diet
Adding fiber
Adding supplement for pain/ inflammation
Making sure she goes poop regular
Getting enough exercise/ mental work
And so I think it's separation anxiety!
We just went to off leash park for big walk and fetch, she potty, and on way home we stopped at grocery store for 10 min. She sat in truck with my other poodle ( who is not anxious) and I wouldn't describe her as anxious either...
When I came out she was licking her hip/ bum area raw again.
I've been coning her when I leave her alone.
Her normal day is both poodle sleep in our room, crate or on floor or invited on bed..
Walk or bike to my grooming salon only minutes away. Sleeps on her couch bed by my front desk most of day, interacts with some dogs and people, goes out back area to potty and play couple times during day. We sneak out for walk sometimes. Then go home, they get agility or in yard with me or in house.
But basically with me a lot. She does keep an eye on me.
So while I work on slowly cutting the umbilical cord, I need an alternative to a cone. I would like to be able to leave her at home, or away from me without worry, and have her more comfy. and ideally so that she can go through dog door it I need to leave them at home for a bit..
I have tried her period panties and she licked the base of tail still. So then I used shorts and tucked her tail inside.. and pinned them...
Any suggestion?
