So the vet prescribed an anti-anxiety as well as an anti-depressant (one is clomicalm, don't know the name of the other). We give the clomicalmn twice daily, and the other one an hour before leaving. He said it could take up to 3 weeks to notice a difference, and we'd gradually wean him off it as he gets better with being left alone, hopefully within a few months.
Today is Ozzy's first day being crated. My fiance is a driver and can stop in to let him out if he is in the area, but if not then Ozzy will be alone all day. Luckily, my fiance was able to stop in around 11:30am (since leaving him at 7:30am). No accidents, and he was let out to play & pee. But when he went back in the crate, he was barking up a storm! I hope the little guy settles down, and enjoys his afternoon treat (a bone stuffed with treats).
