Ways to deal with anxiety over pets health

[SarcasticHippie]

So in may of 2019 my dog got her eye scratched by a protective feral cat mama just behind my yard. This led to trying to save her eye and eventually waiting 1 month for a appointment with a opthalmologist. She had to have it removed. She wore a collar for almost 2 months which apparently was the begining to her arthritis. Soon after she got impailed somehow due to the collar she got stuck under somewhere sharp soon after THAT she broke her pinky nail, well just to make this short my girl has been at the vet almost non stop since her accident. My anxiety has gone through the roof I am constantly worried about her and terrified of losing her. I watch her so she wont get hurt due to her really bad arthritis hips I have stopped having a life. I am devoted to her but sometimes it feel like im going to pass out from worry. Has anyone dealt with something similar if so how do you cope?

HI Sarcastic Hippie sorry to hear about your pet's illness I know how upsetting it can be we have a cocker spaniel called Charlie and we love him to bits I give Charlie cod liver oil capsules I give him a high strength 1000mg one atm and he seems very well on it have you thought of giving your dog cod liver oil ? Flaxseed oil is also excellent both are proven to help arthritis I highly recommend them and hope you give them a try

I haven't tried that yet, she is very picky but I am going to try that. Thank you so much for your suggestion 💛

I am really sorry to hear about your dog. It must be terrible for the poor thing going through such a trauma affecting its overall health. I also have a dog- sachmo, he also had an experience of such an accident but this was when he had an injury when he was playing catch with me. Constant visits to the vet and being there for him were what made me and him better. Even at these stages, our pets will be having such high stress and anxiety as they are also living things. My vet along with the normal course of medicine recommended me to get him additional medicine to make them calm and stress-free (petsdrugmart.ca/en/Product/.... The same was applicable to me as my BP rose to a level that started affecting my whole body and health. I was under therapy for more than a week because of the stress I was going through because of my little one's health. My doctor along with the medicines and exercise for making me calm he recommended that I take vitamin(vitamintree.ca/Search/AOR-A... tablets to help reduce the level of depression and anxiety. B complex tablets are high in reducing stress and uncomforted.
