My dog is freaking out!

Our rescue dog, who we adopted in January and had puppies in February (I KNOW! http://s1079.photobucket.com/albums/w512/boozilu/) has started freaking out at night!

The puppies were adopted a month ago so I don’t think it’s that, but for about a week she has been acting very anxious at night to the point where I am getting no sleep. She acts like our old dog used to during a thunderstorm, but we can’t figure out the trigger. Postpartum depression?

We have started her on Vallium and hope it will work.

Sleeplessly yours,

Can you increase the exercise she gets? If she is worn out from a lot of activity that might help her sleep more at night.

If you started her on Valium, then presumably she’s been to the vet. Did they say dogs can get PPD?
