| I tried them all with Callie and not a single thing worked. Those things aren’t really tested.

| Update. It's been over 6 weeks, and there has been no change to Bella's anxiety. As soon as this prescription of Prozac runs out, we will speak to the vet again about other alternatives. We've been giving her the Prozac pill wrapped up in a piece of cheese each morning and she loves it. She will miss her morning treat. |

The ones I see the best reviews on are Rescue Remedy and Vetriscience line of calming chews. I do these in conjunction sometimes with the Trazodone -- no idea if it helps at all to be honest.

Get ready to keep giving Bella her treats! LOL I have a little foster who was impossible to medicate when he came to me. No matter what I put it in, he knew. I finally started sneaking it into his food. He had to be medicated 3x/day and to this day he comes to me for that 3rd meal and barks until he gets it! He is the only one in my home on 3 meals. LOL

| So sorry you are having trouble getting a handle on her anxiety. I don’t have a lot of experience with this, but will share that about 3 years ago Cali was attack by a hawk and she fought for her life and won, but we went through about a year and a half of significant anxiety issues. Today she is totally anxiety free - well, except for those pesky fire works We used the liquid Xanax, titrating the dose down over the year and a half. Was not cheap, but was very successful. We could only get the liquid at one pharmacy and they had to order it for us. It kicked in quickly and being liquid we had great control over the dosing. Have read that others have not had the success with the Xanax but it was perfect for us and really worked. Hoping things get better for your little girl!

People can die from withdrawal from Xanax....I personally would not use it for myself or my pups.

| There is a behaviorist in this area who does recommend DAP. One of our foster homes years ago went to her and used this with some good results. I had forgotten about it until today.... Dog Appeasing Pheromone-Relieves Dog Anxiety

| No formal training, but I work on socialization skills when I take her out on walks and we meet other dog walkers. I see a little improvement. |

| I tried Xanax with Jackson and it did zero for him lol. He didn't act any different at all! But I only use these medications for high stress events as it is so I don't know- we don't need it for daily life fortunately.
