Donating YT 30K Club Member | I took Pixie to the er vet tonight. Pixie has been acting strange for close to 2 weeks now. She started not wanting to be confined to the back end of the house. I use a little gate to keep them all in the back where we are. If we go to the front of the house they go with. If we are gone they stay in the back. I have never had a problem. Pixie started 2 weeks ago getting scared of the thunder storms for the first time ever. Then last week she kept acting like she needed to go out to pee but wouldn't go out. I took her to my vet and they did a urinalysis and said she may have the start of a UTI. They put her on an antibiotic. That was Friday. Now she goes crazy if she can't lay on the other side of the gate. Today she started barking and crying even though she was on the other side of the fence. I let her outside 4 times in an hour and she wouldn't settle down. I called my vet near closing time and they said take her to the ER to check for bladder stones. 3 hours, an ultrasound and xrays later they can find nothing wrong with her. They gave me Tramadol for pain but no one knows what pain she is in. I am so frustrated at not being able to find out what is bothering her. I bought a Thundershirt today and put it on and she settled down for 2 minutes and then was back to acting strange. Please keep Pixie in your prayers to get over what ever it is that is causing her to act like this. Thanks

| I'm so sorry, Patti. I understand why you are so worried about Pixie, and I will pray for both Pixie and you. You are so loving and such a wonderful mom. I hope you find the cause of Pixie's behavior and that she gets well very quickly. She's a little doll.

| OMGosh Patti! What is up with Pixie? Is there anything in your house above or below or adjacent to the area where she becomes fearful, like any appliances that may doing something abnormal? water heater, washer/dryer/fridge? Maybe lay down on the floor and have a look-see from her point of view? Maybe something fell in a closet that she now fears? Anything on the outside of that area? It sounds like she's sensing something....

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I know this is so frustrating. Hope nothing is seriously wrong with Pixie. My daughter's furbaby Cole acts the same way when he is spooked about things. He has anxiety with storms. High pitched noises affect him the same way. The ding sound on microwaves, washer/dryers, alarms, etc. We couldn't figure out what was wrong one day & finally realized my dh's cell phone had a beep to alert him for msgs. Could there be anything like that to possibly have spooked Pixie? Hope she is better soon & this is all figured out.

| Gosh, I wish I had answers for you. I feel so bad for you and Pixie. I really thought you would find something out when you took her in tonight. I've googled and googled, and not coming up with anything. I'm praying this somehow goes away and she'll be back to normal. Hugs to you!

| I'm sorry to hear Pixie hasn't improved, Patti. Is there anything new in the house? A new piece of furniture, a new rug, anything at all? Or something new in the yard? Did the vet do full body xrays to look at her spine and joints? Has she been eating well? Normal BM's? How old is she? Did the Tramadol seem to help any last night?
