Still hasn't been fixed and still has heat


It sounds like your dog is dealing with a combination of behavioral and physical issues, such as excessive barking, separation anxiety, aggression, itching, sneezing, and weight loss. These can sometimes be interconnected, especially if there have been recent changes in her routine, which can be stressful for dogs.
For the behavioral concerns, let's start with excessive barking. It's helpful to identify what triggers this behavior. If boredom or lack of exercise is the cause, increasing her physical activity and providing mental stimulation through interactive toys or puzzle feeders can be beneficial.
When it comes to separation anxiety, try gradually getting her used to being alone. Start by leaving her for short periods and slowly increase the time. Creating a safe space with comforting items like a favorite toy or blanket can also be reassuring.
Aggression can be more complex and might require professional training or behavior modification techniques. Using positive reinforcement and maintaining consistency are essential strategies.
Now, addressing the physical symptoms, itching and sneezing could indicate allergies, possibly related to her environment or diet. You might consider changing her diet to see if there's an improvement or explore hypoallergenic options. Regular grooming and ensuring her flea and tick prevention is current can also help.
Regarding her weight loss, keep an eye on her food intake and ensure she's eating a balanced diet. If the weight loss persists, it might be necessary to explore further dietary adjustments or investigate underlying health issues.
Since she hasn't been spayed and is still experiencing heat cycles, this can sometimes contribute to behavioral changes. Spaying can help with some behavioral issues and prevent future health problems, but it's a decision best discussed with your veterinarian.
Given that these symptoms have been ongoing but aren't currently severe, it's wise to monitor her condition closely. If any issues worsen or new symptoms appear, consulting a veterinarian for a thorough evaluation would be a good step.
If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
