Episode 81 – Janice and Robbie’s Story

Robbie is probably one of the most anxious dogs I have seen in my 6 years working as a Veterinary Psychiatrist.

His behaviour got so bad that his lovely caregiver, Janice, had to sleep on the sofa with him for several weeks, neither of them getting much sleep.

When I first met him, Robbie would pace, pant, patrol the home, lick walls and cupboards, and paw at the floor to try to make himself feel a little better.

The relationship with his housemate dogs became extremely tense as they were just not able to read his body language or understand his behaviour.

Everyone was stressed and at a loss.

After an initial consultation, I started Robbie on a comprehensive psychopharmaceutical treatment plan and within a few weeks, his anxiety had decreased to the point that Janice could sleep in her own bed again.

Robbie continues to go from strength to strength and has even started to play with his toys again and is friends with his housemate dogs again.
