Doing Great!!

Baxter's been doing great in daycare for the last two weeks. He hasn't chased his tail, even though he's stopped wearing his e-collar in his kennel. In addition, he's been fine with the other dogs at daycare - not showing any agitation around them. It might be that once he settles into a space, he's fine, or it might be that the fluoxetine is working well for him (he's been on it for 6 weeks now, and it usually takes 4-6 weeks to take effect). He does seem to do best in more open spaces - he gets really stressed when he feels closed in, like in cars, crates, kennels, and elevators.

This is the most positive news for this great guy in a long time, which is so wonderful - he's such a loving dog, just looking for someone he can bond with. Having him find some peace is a huge relief.
