Snipe Hunt
back when, the s outs always had snipe hunts on camp outs. Seems I’m at it again. So far i have been hunting for 5 kids that were left at day camp and should be walking along the highway in the rain,(try explaining to the police wheyyouare doing 15mph in the breakdown lane) later it was two college girls (since we were in the local college campus, later it was glasses(doesn’t wear glasses have to find a pair, or a purse, have an old one i keep handy), the other dog, the little girl again(she is always wandering off) the people that we are supposed to take home, My LO gets so concerned with things like these and becomes emotional upset when i cant find the object. Right now it is the other dog that shouldn’t be out side “its to hot”
I can’t produce these things and it frustrates both of us.
Ant ideas?

Lie & redirect. Try telling him the dog is at the vet or with family or friends and is OK. Tell him the police or parents found the kids and they are safe. Then, change the subject or give them a task to do. Talk to the doctor. There are medications that can help with hallucinations & delusions.

ClarkEb, in other posts you mentioned your DW being started on Seroquel. Did that in fact happen? If not i would still think about it. If so, perhaps a dose increase is indicated.
