My female Doberman is just over 1 year old. Last weekend she was not herself. We realized that she most likely ate a sock and it was stuck. We took her to the emergency vet who offered to do an exploratory surgery for $3000. Unfortunately, we had nowhere near that amount, so we opted to have the vet hydrate her.
Last Sunday, my mother in law came over (she is a nurse and has a lot of experience with animals). She helped keep ******* hydrated, gave mineral oil both by mouth and also...in the back end....as well as enemas (warm water and johnson's baby wash). After all afternoon, ******* finally passed the sock Sunday evening, much to our relief. Since then, ******* has been lashing out at our Boston Terrier, has been hiding under the bed, is hesitant to eat, and must be touching a human at all times. She seems scared to play with the other dogs, and is very posessive over chew toys, food, blankets, her personal space, etc. She is a great dog, and very lovable, but we are just stumped as to how to break her of this habit to get her back to her old self.
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thank you very much!
