You both have such great ideas! Thanks! :-)
My parents tried the "feeding on opposite sides of the gate" to have the dog and cat get used to each other. No dice! The cat is mellow--- the dog goes nuts. They are in the process of getting a new vet (their old one moved, unfortunately) and I will give my parents the names of those calmatives...Are they all super expensive?? And safe?? Which would you recommend??
Again, thanks so much for your help! We need it!! Stephanie

:Your best bet at this point is to consult a Canine Behaviorist. That's different than an obedience trainer. A veterinarian with experience/ continuing ed in behavior would be good too. Medications (Clomicalm, Elavil, and increasingly Prozac) do make a difference. So do many TCM (Trad. Chinese Medicine) remedies. Melatonin also works for many dogs. These medications work best when used with behavior modification techniques. Don't let anyone tell you that she's old and beyond changing or teaching. My pack is all older, I never had them as pups. Dogs will learn until the day they die. Good luck, and keep us updated on her progress!
