We thought distemper for a long time...now Iam not so sure, she doesn't have the bad feet pads and rotted teeth usually seen on distemper dogs, I guess its possible tho.

Thanks all of you. I just went back to work so Iam still trying to get back in the routine.

after this rant, I go home and Critter was fine, all bouncy and wanting to play with me....wierd wierd dog, but ina couple days shes'll be all pathetic again. Iam eager to finally try the DAP, I also bought a calming cap, but they don't give you size to do size on the internet anywhere, so i don't know who it will end up fitting.

pawz, that is a very interesting article, thanks for posting it.

NP it seems to be one of those things that floats around in cyber space

Glacier has never had another episode but good to know just in case!

Canine Behavior Spotlight: Behavior Problems and D.A.P - (Dog Appeasing Pheromone)

Quote:

What is D.A.P.™?
Developed for pet owners by veterinarians, D.A.P.™ (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) mimics the properties of the natural pheromones of the lactating female. Within three to five days after giving birth, the female generates pheromones that give their puppies a sense of well-being and reassurance, known as appeasing pheromones.

people claim it helps with everything from SA to housebreaking to chewing, to well...you name it. Its worth a shot at this point. I have five dogs, so its bound to do som'thing positive for at least one of them

I'm a little late on this one

...!

Is Critter the one that posts in the forum for you?

I want to use DAP for Liza so I'm very interested to hear about it!

Critter is the insane pomeranian. Chili is more like an obnoxious tom boy

and yes he posts for me occasionally

The dap comes today, I have to pick it up at work tho.

Aha! LOL so cute!! So dedicated to the screen!!!

So you will start using the DAP today? Is it supposed to work immediately or it takes some days?

**Criosphynx** · 05-27-2010, 03:03 PM

It says about 24 hours min but a week is best.

So I just brought it home, I took it out of the box and instantly got four very interested noses in my lap. I let them take turns sniffing it and they were VERY interested in it....three of them even tried to take it from me.

Critter of course, didn't care less.

anyway, its in the wall now, we will see.

that seems promising... i think they discussed mother dog pheromones in that dogumentory (hehe get it? doGumentory instead of doCumentory, ok i'm a dork, sorry) that someone posted on here... very interesting...

i'll have to read up on it some more...

Interested in knowing how this works for you and if it works for all the dogs or just for some of them!
