DOG AGGRESSION TOWARDS RESIDENT DOG:
Here's an update on Lilly and Shelby.
Their dynamics have been GREAT since I started supporting the proper hierarchy....So I have my work cut out for me but I am very grateful for all the recommendations. I will call to reschedule (recheck appointment) for about a month.

SMALL BREED DOG AGGRESSION TOWARDS PEOPLE AND DOGS:
Hi Dr. M,
Just wanted you to know how Goochee is doing. My Granddaughter arrived Saturday for her usual 8 week visit with her Dad and Goochee hasn't growled or barked at her once since she arrived. That is the complete opposite than last year. He's acting very calm around her, just as if she lived here all the time. I've still got him on leash 24/7 for control and we've warned her not to take his calm demeanor for granted. But we are very proud and happy with him right now.

DOG COMPULSIVELY CHASING LIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS:
Dear Dr. Melese:
This is my two-week follow up email about Indy. She seems to be doing much better about the light and is much calmer. Thanks again, and I will schedule a follow-up appointment for a few weeks from now.

CAT AGGRESSIVELY BITING DAUGHTER:
Yesterday we taught him (our cat) to "sit" and "come" on command. He learned quite quickly. Pretty cool. I also appreciate your other advice.

HOUSEHOLD CATS FIGHTING:

Our cats fought with each other for a year before we went to see Dr. Melese. With his help, we had a
peaceful home again in just over four months.

DESTRUCTION, DISTRESS VOCALIZATION WHEN LEFT ALONE AND GENERAL ANXIETY:

Hi Dr. Melese,
I always like to keep you updated on Buddy's progress. He has been doing extremely well since our move and I think all your advice worked so well.

OLDER DOG WITH ANXIETY AND WAKING UP OWNERS IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT:
This is just a quick update on Asia. Her separation anxiety has improved greatly. In fact I haven't used the (medication) in so long. She is not waking us up in the morning (just a couple of times) either. And when she has it has not been at 5:30 (AM). In fact she actually only wakes up if I wake up. So things have greatly improved. Thank you for everything. Thank you again for all of your knowledge. You are truly the best and most devoted vet I have ever known.

Thank you again for your help with Max.  I have received your discharge notes and will respond soon with my impressions of the wonderful treatment (my scanner is down) and my picture of Max.  You have my gratitude forever.  I will keep in touch.
