Rehome a dog

[Ruthie1974]

Please no judgement as i am finding this incredibly difficult to write. We adopted a rescue puppy and since that day i have had trouble sleeping, eating, crying constantly and very anxious. I have had to leave home and my family for a couple of days. I just cant see how i can get beyond this as my anxiety is awful and i feel like i am not functioning at all well but my husband says leave it longer but i just cant....

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any advice?

Do you know what it is about having the puppy that makes you anxious/upset etc?

How long have you had the puppy?

Puppy blues are real, I had it, still do to some degree and my pup is almost 6 months
The half a stone weight loss was a bonus!

Yes I had this. Sorry you’re feeling this way. It seems like an extreme reaction but I also couldn’t eat or sleep. It was awful. What helped me was reading other threads on here - put ‘puppy blues’ in the search and see what comes up. It’s actually pretty common.

How long have you had the puppy? For me it gradually got better as puppy got older and we got into a routine. Being able to go on longer walks helped as he got bigger. I also spoke to my GP who helped me.

i cant tell you what’s right for you, but I persevered and wouldn’t be without my dog now, I adore him.
