An update... The suggestion of Melatonin is working very well.
When we "snoodle" her in her "thunder shirt" and give her a pill, she's very calm. No more attacking feet. She doesn't wander the motorhome any more and just settles down and sleeps.
She seems to be more tolerant of the Loki, her new brother.The only time I hear a growl is when he approaches and she's getting love from one of us. But on the other hand, he'll do the same thing to her if he's the one getting affection.
During their last altercation, (which sounded worse than it was).. I thought Loki developed an abscess. But turns out it's a tumor on his ear which may or may not go away according to a vet.
They walk well together and will chase each other. I don't expect they will be cuddling together ever... but do seem to be adapting.
We started her on some doggie glucosamine also.
Now, if I could just get his shedding down a bit... then we would have adopted the perfect dog!
