I’ve gotten a total of 12 hours of sleep in a week because he keeps me up. He’s a beagle, so his screams are the loudest thing on the planet.

I love him so much. More than I love myself. But the lil dude is really infuriating me every night. He just wants me to hold him because he doesn’t feel good.

Last night he figured out how to open his crate from the inside, so I had to use a carabiner to make sure the door wouldn’t open.

I have to endure this for 3 more weeks because he’ll be on his antibiotic for that long.

Edit: y’all, I’m not actually mad at my dog. More frustrated at the situation and tired. Chill out

    Try giving them some unflavored canned pumpkin pie filling: My old neighbor swore by this to help his dogs when they had an upset stomach. Just make sure it’s plain/unseasoned.

    Hope your dog feels better soon!

        Don’t get “pumpkin pie mix“ by accident. What you want should say “100% pure pumpkin” and ingredients list should only list pumpkin.

        Edit: and don’t be surprised if their poop is orange, my beagle has had diarrhea for weeks because she was on antibiotics and while the pumpkin is helping her poop looks like canned pumpkin.

      We did this for my girlfriend’s dog, and he had uncontrollable diarrhea for a couple days after we added a bit to his usual food.

      I’m not saying it won’t work, but your mileage may vary in unexpected ways.
