No he’s never been in any medication. Perhaps will need to start then?
I definitely think it’s time to get him looked at, but he’s not going to like it much. He always used to go in the car with the other two dogs (now both passed away
) and he’s now out of the habit of car travel. He used to shake with fear and was sick at being put in with Rònán our other greyhound who was presumably the ‘alpha male’ and who, by doing absolutely nothing at all apart from invading personal space in the close confines of the dog compartment at the back of the Land Rover, managed to unwittingly intimidate Ciarán somehow. He was ok later when it was just him and Caileag in the back then. But now he hasn’t been in the car for years, so that unfamiliarity probably won’t help. And he will have to be lifted in I should think, as he won’t have the strength to jump any more.
