Yes. That's me too. I don't blame you for being frustrated. One thing I'd try first, though, is a specialist or another vet, if you haven't tried that.

You really could ask for a referral to a specialist from your vet, or if you're on Facebook or Nextdoor in DC, describe this exact problem there and you'll get so many vet/speciality vet recommendations from those who have BTDT.

I know I see those in various groups on FB and vet recommendations on Nextdoor as well. Is that something you could try, if you have not yet done so?[/quote]
Please keep in mind that I also have a child in daycare, which costs me approximately $1,700/month, I pay for a walker for the dog, and DH and I both work full time outside of our home. I don’t have an unlimited budget or unlimited leave to resolve this issue with specialists. If it was my child, these costs would be covered by health insurance and my job would (I hope) understand frequent absences related to the sickness of a child. I don’t have that flexibility with my dog, even though I consider her part of my family. [/quote]

It sounds like you don’t want the dog anymore, so give up the dog. Are you looking for people on here to give your permission or make you feel better about it? This is not normal and despite saying you have tried many vets, many foods, etc. and nothing has solved the problem, you don’t want to admit that this is not normal dog behavior. I’m not sure any of us know what to tell you to do because you have tried “everything.” [/quote]
