I keep seeing them advertised and wonder if they might help with current issue. Ok so here’s the problem. 7 year old mini schnauzer, she has been sleeping through the night since she was a tiny pup. However the last week we’ve had 3 nights (including last night 😩) where she’s been anxious/wound up about something. She insists on going out in the garden about 8 times (or more) throughout the night, can’t settle, panting, whining etc.. I’ve been out there with her she is not weeing or pooing, it’s not a toilet thing. She is sniffing around the garden almost obsessively. After about 15 minutes she barks to come back in, then is still “on alert”. Last night she finally settled at 4am - she had made herself vomit due to her stress. It’s exhausting and worse than having a newborn baby! Dh is getting really cross (which doesn’t help 🙄).
I must add she’s perfectly happy during the day, no sign of pain, eating and drinking etc.. She has an hour long off lead walk in the morning, then 40 minutes early evening. I’m home with her two days a week, the other three she’s at doggy daycare which she loves.
Any advice?
