: We have got a seven year old female Beagle
: called Abbey who we've had for about two
: years. She came from a kennels who bred
: Beagles for show dogs and she had two
: litters before we got her. She was well
: looked after so no problems there.
:
: She is the most laid back, calm,
: affectionate dog you could wish to meet.
: Until, that is, we had that earthquake in
: April. My husband and I slept through the
: whole thing and it was only when we came
: down in the morning that we realised Abbey
: hadn't. She had scratched and chewed three
: doors and the surrounding frame and there
: was wood all over the place. She must have
: been terrified.
:
: Since then we haven't been able to leave her
: on her own during the day as she cries and
: howls and creates even more damage. We are
: in the middle of trying a lot of things
: including plug-in soothers, calming drops in
: her food and an old jumper of mine to cuddle
: up to. We have brought in a cage and she
: seems quite happy in until we go out.
: Consequently, I have to take her to work
: with me, something I can't keep doing and if
: we are going out for the evening she has to
: go into kennels where she is quite happy.
: She is O.K at night but not through the day.
: Has anyone got any suggestions please?
