Poor little baby. OMG, we had problems like this many years ago with Mr Callan, our first Yorkie. Of course one cannot compare a thunder storm in London to what you get in Florida! I remember our, then, vet used to prescribe 1/4 of a low dose valium and we always placed cold flannels over Callan's head. Another remedy was putting on some music and drawing the curtains across the windows to shield him from the terrifying flashes of light.
I am certainly not promoting the use of human drug remedies here - in fact there are some extremely helpful herbal solutions for hysteria and panic attacks in little dogs. We have Denes Herbal Veterinary remedies in the UK and I daresay you have similar in the US. It's all worth a try.
Please give our wuff and all best whiskers to your little 'girlie'.
