My dog had a couple of teeth removed and now he’s constantly triggering my misophonia
Before he had those teeth removed, I would only be triggered if he was cleaning himself too long. Usually I just walked off or asked him to quit.
After his dental work I figured aw he’s healing and getting adjusted to his mouth but it’s been months and he’s constantly making the most irritating sounds known to mankind.
He is a complete lap dog and sleeps in our room. I’ve tried ear plugs at night but during the day it’s … incredibly hard. I’m not a violent person but I’m so scared of what I could do. When he starts up I get up and leave but sometimes I can’t and I have found myself yelling at him (before this I probably only ever yelled at him 2/3 before in his life). I feel so guilty and ashamed. I love him but truthfully I don’t know how long I can keep him unless I get better at handling this. I don’t want to ever hit him and I would prefer to see him go to a better home than stay with me if that were to ever happen.
But he’s my baby, I’ve had him for over six years.
Today, I notice if he starts making the noises and I turn my head he stops. It breaks my heart that I’ve made him react like that but unfortunately as soon as I turn back he goes right back at it.
