Well, Wednesday night and Thursday night, the family had two complete blissful nights of uninterrupted sleep. Clem slept all the way through till morning and so did the rest of us.
However, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday became somewhat problematic. The Clem bedtime anxiety meter pretty much pegged each of those nights prior to bedtime. But, with the help of a lot of pets and pat she did manage to finally fall asleep. But last night, she woke up at around 3:30 AM and again ramped up on the ol' anxiety. Poor Clemmie.
After consultation with the vet, the plan is to take her off of Valium (which was not a long term solution) and put her on Clomipramine - a tricycle antidepressant that works in both poochies and people. And to help encourage sleep, we're going to toss a little Benadryl into the mix. Hopefully, this will work.
Poor Clem, anxiety totally sucks.
