I didn’t know. She’s my first dog - a little 5lb chihuahua. She barked so much my neighbors complained so I bought a bark collar. I didn’t know I was supposed to take it off. I didn’t know.
I’ve been crying all damn day, I feel so neglectful and disgusted with myself. She is my baby. She has two little wounds in her neck and I just can’t forgive myself. I feel so horrible. I’m taking her to the vet first thing in the morning, and for now I’ve put antibiotics and a gauze around her neck for the time being. She’s acting fine and playing but god I can’t believe I let this happen. I threw the collar away.
I don’t know why I’m posting this. I just feel like an abusive piece of shit, and that’s what I am.
What can I do to make her feel better before and after the vet appointment? How can I train her not to bark - the collar is OUT of the equation.
I just can’t believe I let this happen. I’m revolted with myself.
I’m sorry.
