Hi We've got an 8 month beagle boy and a 7 motnh dachshund girl. They are always together but today I took the dachshund to the vet to be neutered.

As you can imagine we have to separate them for at least 4-5 days but the beagle is not taking this well. He is in the backyard howling and howling and I don't know what to do.

Any ideas?

Why do you have to keep them seperated?

The beagle is a little rough to her son the vet reccomended us to have her separated for three days to let the wound to heal.

Oh I see. I would see how they do together, supervised of course. When my jack russell get spayed, the other dogs didn't bother her because they could sense she wasn't feeling well.

Do you have a crate you could put the dachshund in so that she'd be near the beagle, but they wouldn't be able to rough house.

Sandy has a great idea. I'd definitely try that and see if it calms the beagle down a bit.

Can your dachsund maybe be gated in one room and beagle allowed in the room(s) next to it? That way they can be close. When my greyhound had surgery he had to be separated from Andy, especially when we were at work. So Jake had the kitchen with a nice bed and all his stuff and Andy had the bedroom and hallway. Worked out good.
