My dog won't stop crying from separation anxiety. What can I do?

Question

My sister left for college and had to leave her dog behind. He has separation anxiety. I've tried everything to calm him down and he wont at all. I give him treats things with her smell on it and we face time so he can see and hear her. He wont stop crying either unless i hold him. I start school again on Thursday and won't be able to hold him all the time. What else can i do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 75 lbs

You should probably have Rusty examined by a vet if his separation anxiety is this bad. The vet can make specific recommendations on behavioral training at home, supplements, or medications that will help make Rusty more comfortable while you are away. You can also look at doggie daycare or petsitting options.
