I think you have done every thing possible to help Petra.  Please add my thoughts and prayers to this long list of BPO friends.

I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I can't even imagine the heartbreak you must be going through. I hope that this behaviorist will help you comfortably arrive at a decision that will work for the both of you. My thoughts are with you.

I am a USNMC rescue volunteer.  Unfortuately, some neo's do not do very well being rehomed.  Was she found in a shelter?  That seems to be the biggest issue with most of the rescue neo's.  When they get thrown into a shelter situation it really changes their personality.  These are dogs that LIVE for their 'people.'  Some will literally lie down and die. 

Unfortunately, USNMC Rescue cannot under any circumstance, take a dog that has shown any aggression.  The liability is too high.  We don't deal with cockers!!  These are dogs that can seriously injure, or kill a human.  Just in sheer size and weight.  Not to mention the determination. 

My suggestion, and the suggestion of any of our volunteers would be what you are dreading.  Let her go in your arms.  :'(

my mom is a master herbalist,  she recommends trying petra on valerian root, and if not that, go to an herb store and get st johns wort tincture and put one dropper in her food or water. itd be worth trying before letting petra go.

Actually, I think things have turned around somewhat for Petra, although I don't think we have heard from her owner in the last two and a half weeks or so.  To my knowledge, her last post was on this thread.

I hope she has continued to improve since that time.
