I need help with my little one. She is 6 months old and has bad separation anxiety. I don't know what to do about it. The vet told me to try leaving her a little bit at a time but she panics as soon as I walk away. I could deal with the barking but she messes herself every time I leave. I take her to work with me and most everywhere I go except the grocery store. The other day I went to the grocery store and left her in her crate, I let her potty before I left, I was gone for no more than 20 minutes and when I returned she had pooped twice and smeared it everywhere and had peed more pee than I have ever seen come out of that little 3 pound body of hers. I never punish her for this because I know it isn't her fault but I'm a new mommy and I don't know what to do. Please help.
