So Mochi has been on prozac nearly 6 weeks (on Friday). This past week hasn't been extremely eventful behavior wise. We had people over, all ones he is familiar with and I didn't notice a hugely noticeable difference aside from no pacing. He greeted them (after they sat on the floor) and was noticeably disturbed by the amount of ruckus as we ate pizza and played a board game. He had his thundershirt on before anyone got there.
I guess it is a good note that he didn't pace, he just kind of hung around us and occasionally solicited the rare pet.
Over the past week, Arya hadn't been feeling so good so she was getting more attention. He was pretty collected about the whole thing. A few incidents which might have involved a more serious warning from Mochi to Arya, like her trying to go out when he wants in, for the most part resulted in him waiting for her and then one time a shake off. She's good about just going straight out/away from him and not pressuring him.
I was gone all day Saturday and he was Mr. Cool when I got back, but definitely needed his Mommy time. It's been extremely windy the last 2 days (Sunday/Monday) and he's had moments where he wants to be disturbed by it. He has actually been able to collect himself and get over his frustration and anxiety. He actually sat outside in the wind for a few hours yesterday! Despite being windy, the days have still been fairly warm.
Right now it's trying to rain and is a bit windy and we just finished more dremel counter conditioning. His nails are getting so long I would just die if anyone but me saw them.. but I don't want to dremel them until we have more progress in the cc&d. I'm thinking of taking him into a groomer just to knock the tips off and have it not be me doing it but I don't know if that will set us back.
