She has recently been trembling for not apparent reason even when I hold her. My vet has suggested medication. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I would rather not medicate her but I feel so bad for her and all this anxiety she is experiencing. I'd like to know if anyone has tried medication and how it worked for you or if there is something else I should try.
Hey~we are neighbors! Well practically I'm in Tinley Park My Bogey it taking Anxitane for about 2 months now and it is working very well for him. It's L-Theanine which is a found in green tea. My vet said that it is kind of hit or miss and it works well for some and not for others. But he also felt that those that claimed it didn't work did not use it long enough. They suggest at least 60 days to see improvement. He use to be very anxious and did not do well on car ride or with thunderstorms. Now we hardly even notices the storms and we have had a few good ones recently.
