Well....Sunnie ended up needing the Apoquan after all...started showing signs of itchiness about 2 in the afternoon. I don't know if the calming collar was influencing things or not but the itchiness seemed to be more of an idle thing than it had been before...still being discouraged, though, for the sake of her skin.
She's got a two week course of the meds and I'm hoping the itchiness will stop for good long before that's up. Until it does, she'll be sleeping in the cone. At least it doesn't scare Dan as much as it did at first.
The collar does seem to be keeping her mellow and she was more playful while playing with Danny than I'd seen her in a long time. As if her anxiety truly was lessened...she could let herself go.
I ordered a few sachets of the herbs to put near Bob's bed and the chair he uses a lot. Maybe the herbs will work for him, too. (regardless, they smell wonderful)
