Progress Report Week 7


I started Quinnie on a bit of pharmaceutical help last week. Dr Kucia and I had a discussion when I first brought Quinnie to the vet's office about considering medication to help with her fear issues. After 6 weeks I decided it was time to give something else a try. She has been on Prozac for about 10 days and so far, so good.

No side effects thus far and still waiting to see if they take effect and how.

She has been a lot more vocal this past week. She grumbles to be let out when she is in her crate when I am actively playing with the other dogs in front of her. If the puppies are running around the house she is beside herself to be out with them, lots of muttering and barking and pawing at the crate door. She does love her some puppies.

Door ways have not been an issue these past few weeks and she has not had any accidents inside the house (or her crate).

She is ridiculous in the evenings when its her time for some attention. She all but throws herself in my lap and there is lots of rolling around on her back, burrowing her head into my lap, flailing her legs around and getting up to do it all over again. Her affection is very frenzied and comical and my poor dog is so confused by it that sometimes I think he just stops and stares at her and wonders what in the world is wrong with her.
