i picked up lily about two weeks ago from the humane society and she hasn't really been out of my sight since. (shes adorable) i think that this is a major reason in why she won't stop crying whenever i leave the room. if i crate her while i take a shower, i can hear her crying the entire time, if i leave to go to the bathroom, she doesnt stop. when i come in the room she used to stop immediatley, but now it takes her a little time to calm down. if she isn't crated, she follows me constantly. when she cries in the crate, i feel absolutely awful and want to rush in to help her, but i know that i need to be consistent if i ever want to leave the house knowing that she is ok... but i'm at my wits end. i don't want to leave my house with her alone, because i feel so horrible about it. i tried leaving her in for different lengths of time, giving her treats, and even leaving her in when im in the room so she doesnt associate her crate with a bad place. (it's right next to my bed) she doesn't tear up her blankets or harm herself, but she does chew up the newspaper in her cage (but she does that while im in the room as well)... so i dont know if she has separation anxiety? i need something to do that won't break either of our hearts. thankkkk you!
