Thanks, that's the plan for now. We have desperately been trying to work on leaving him alone in the bedroom. This has been going on for seven weeks. He's been on Prozac now for a few weeks plus trazodone and gabapentin. Yet most of the time within two seconds of closing the door, the crying and yelping starts. It's been so stressful. We are really hoping that after a few more weeks of Prozac, we will start to see some changes. We have not left the house for seven weeks! At least not together.

It can take a couple of months for the Prozac to build up in their system. We had one of our dogs on the same three meds and once the level of Prozac built up in her system we were able to stop the other two but she still takes the Prozac.
It is a long road but hopefully there is improvement ahead.
