Thats some serious chaos there that you dont need on top of everything else going on. Crazy that a dog can tear up a door when it wants to. Hope things get better for you over there.

OMG...I'm so sorry to hear about all of the stress that you're going through. I would personally love for you to set up a gofundme account so that I can help you out a bit. I'm sure that there are others on the boards and off the boards that can relate to your situation. My husband is ex-army, and while he doesn't have PTSD, I certainly have a soft spot in my heart for service men/women who are suffering and just trying to get back to some semblance of a normal life. Please feel free to PM me to see how I can help.

Here we go again. I'm at wits end.I literally PASSED my wife on the road 3 mins from my house on the way to the vets with Roxy to see if they had a morning after. So literally Hank had MAYBE 6 mins alone in my house. He pushed over the kitty gate and went into the room I just replaced the window in and broke it and cut himself again. I feel like taking him out back and shooting him. I love him so much but he's ruining my fuckiing life right now. IF not shoot him myself, it's like WTF. I can't get a minutes fucking solace.

The new vet I wanted to start going to doesn't do anything like terminating a pregnancy. They said it's because it's very dangerous for the dog to do.

I called Canyon Crossroads the vet I'm trying to get away from, and they said It's not a morning after. It's a series of shots 2x a day @$20 a shot, over several days. I need to schedule an appointment for a pregnancy ultrasound that will be 45 for the visit and 65 for the ultrasound to determine if she's pregnant or not. Then They will have to keep her overnight for at least 3 days to monitor her while giving her the shots. I'm going to call other places because I don't trust they won't do anything ELSE while they have her and bill me for it without asking first.

They mentioned no risk or even side effects...

Can you start using a crate for Hank? It seems like he just can't be trusted in the house alone at this point. I'm hoping that this has to do with the dogs in heat but am also wondering if he isn't just picking up some really bad habits or maybe has some separation anxiety.
 
He's 3 and we've never had a problem before. I can put him in a flimsy wire crate I just think he will break it and/or injure himself trying to get out and I need it for my DogVacay business especially now that I'm going to be working a job.

Do you have a garage or something that you can put him in? Or maybe a friend will take him for a few days for you?

So sorry you are going through this. I think boarding him would be the best option. I have a senior unspayed Doberman (has DCM so can't have surgery) and a one year old Great Dane. The last time she went into heat he couldn't care less, he was just a baby. But the next one I am expecting some trouble, so plan to send him to my dad for as long as needed. I figure Hannah might have one more heat cycle before he gets fixed and we won't have an issue. Is neutering your dog a possibility?

I was also going to ask if you were considering getting him neutered. If he's breaking down doors and windows I think he could break out of a wire crate pretty easily.
