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

What does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?

Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you're in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don't treat you like such a burden.

Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog's WHOLE life. You're enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won't help him feel better.

Instead you're locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

I messaged my vet last night about this and I'm waiting to hear back.

I'm trying to keep his schedule and life as consistent as possible right now. Routine is very important. I cuddle him and comfort him for hours each night before bedtime.

I need to care for myself as well as him.

This is important. Sort of a "put your own oxygen mask on before helping others put theirs on"

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Exactly. If I'm not caring for myself, I won't be able to care for my critters properly.

The thing that got me is the dog spent his whole life seeing that cage door as insurmountable, and now he’s suffering so much that he figured out how to open it.
