To make a long story short we have been back and forth with our dogs sleeping in their kennels. Las several years they have been in them. Last year our youngest mini (who is now 8 years old) had a random night where he panted all night long and didn’t sleep nor did I. I called the vet the next day and they chalked it up to anxiety and sent aniexty meds. We didn’t give them really.. maybe once or twice. We became lax about him sleeping in the bed with us and then got firm again. Now for the last 6 months or so we have been rotating each night where one dog gets to sleep in the bed. Well the youngest mini in particular is back to panting all night long when it’s not his night. I don’t think he’s even sleeping… I don’t let him out. Sounds like severe separation anxiety. What can I do? We are now going to not let any dogs sleep in bed and all back in kennels each night. Do I need to essentially start over and crate train again with treats? He’s not very treat motivated. Do I need to give the anxeity meds? TIA!
