Prince gets really, really, really anxious, nervous and scared. Since he has a collapsed trechea, getting upset like that can be potentially fatal. We have to really control his environment as much as possible.
I met a women at the vet who has to give her Yorkie Benadryl every time she takes him for a walk because of allergies.
