Duke and the trauma of the fireworks, a story of overcoming the trauma (ENG - SPA)
Christmas is synonymous with anguish, terror and depression for our pets, which makes some owners not enjoy these dates as such. For as long as I can remember how traumatic Christmas is for my dogs, I don't like it as much as I used to. Last year at the Christmas lighting they used fireworks and for that date I was not prepared with Duke, I went to see the lights and when the rockets started instead of enjoying the show my mind and heart were with him 😪😭 we were a block away and when I arrived he was still very nervous.
So I started to look for homemade solutions on the internet and I found that tying a blanket around his body or placing pantyhose also on his body made him feel protected, as if they were hugged, it seemed logical that they felt protected and I looked for a shirt of mine of daily use and I put it on him adjusting it on his back with a little hair tail because the idea is that it was tight.
The first few minutes it seemed to work, although he was still tucked under the kitchen, but after a few hours the nerves returned and he was rather bothered by the shirt because he wanted to take it off which led me to buy him some special pills for his nerves, The first day I gave him the recommended dose, 1 pill for every 10 kilos, as he weighs 14 kilos I gave him 1 ½ I could see that he felt more relaxed and that gave me peace of mind, the night of New Year's Eve we all had a good time as a family to see that our Duke felt better.
This experience is part of the #hivepets community Christmas contest, you still have time to participate. My photos reflect my humble space and the sadness of my doggy at this time of the year.
I wondered if the only animals to suffer from pyrotechnics were cats and dogs, 🤔 and it turns out not. They have been found to also affect rhinos, elephants, big cats like cheetahs, even rodents are still running around minutes after the noise has stopped. 😱🥹 How is your experience with pyrotechnics and your pets?
Thank you for your valuable time and support and happy new year 2024.🫶

Duke y el trauma de los fuegos artificiales, historia de superación Navidad es sinónimo de angustia, terror y depresión para nuestras mascotas, lo que hace que algunos dueños no disfruten estas fechas como tal. Desde que tengo recuerdo de lo traumático que es la Navidad para mis perros, no me gusta tanto como antes. El año pasado en el encendido de navidad usaron fuegos artificiales y para esa fecha yo no estaba preparada con Duke, me fui a ver las luces y cuando comenzaron los cohetes en vez de disfrutar el espectáculo mi mente y corazón estaban con él 😪😭 estábamos a una cuadra de distancia y cuando llegue él seguía muy nervioso.
Por eso comencé a buscar soluciones caseras por internet y encontré que amarrarles una manta alrededor de su cuerpo o colocarles medias pantys también en cuerpo hacía que sintieran protegidos, como si estuvieran abrazados, parecía lógico que se sintieran protegidos y busque una camisa mía de uso diario y se la puse ajustándola en su lomo con una colita de cabello porque la idea es que estuviera ajustada.
Los primeros minutos parecía dar resultado, aunque seguía estando metido debajo de la cocina, pero después de unas horas volvieron los nervios y más bien le molestaba la camisa porque quería quitárselo lo que me llevó a comprarle unas pastillas especiales para los nervios, me costaron 5 dólares la caja y es un tipo de sedantes para perros y gatos, el primer día le di la dosis recomendada 1 pastilla por cada 10 kilos, como él pesa 14 kilos le di 1 ½ pude observar que se sentía más relajado y eso a me dio tranquilidad, la noche de fin de año la pasamos bien todos en familia a ver que nuestro Duke se sentía mejor.
Esta experiencia forma parte del concurso de Navidad de la comunidad #hivepets, aún tienes tiempo de participar. Mis fotos reflejan mi humilde espacio y la tristeza de mi perrito en estas fechas.
Me pregunté si los únicos animales en sufrir por la pirotecnia eran los gatos y perros, 🤔 y resulta que no. Se han comprobado que también afecta a los rinocerontes, elefantes, felinos grandes como los guepardos, incluso los roedores siguen corriendo minutos después de que el ruido haya cesado. 😱🥹 ¿Cómo es tu experiencia con la pirotecnia y tus mascotas?
Gracias por su valioso tiempo y apoyo y feliz año 2024. 🫶

Wow, 150k upvotes is a major milestone. Congrats @soyunasantacruz 🎉
Si la pirotecnia es algo no muy agradable para los animalistos , las personas deberian tener un poco mas de consiencia y limitar su uso
Yo creo que el mejor invento del siglo seria crear las luces sin sonido, pero claro a muchos les es el estruendo.
Los animales sufren, se limitan de hacer sus necesidades por ejemplo mi perro deja de orinar y defecar hasta por un dia y eso me pone a mi mas nerviosa y estresada.
Saludos, gracias por comentar.

Poor Duke 😕
We used Tellington for our one of our dogs because she got so nervous that she got I'll for a day; it really worked sometimes. She passed last August anyway so fireworks can't hurt her anymore.
I hope gorgeous Duke can overcome his fear at least partially.
Happy New Year! ❤️
Ahi 🥲 he is already in a better place resting from everything.
Thanks, with the medicine Duke is doing better but he is abstaining from doing his needs and that makes me nervous, thank God it is only for a few days a year.
People can be really inconsiderate. Let's hope we'll have quieter holidays soon.
