I have no idea how to help with this issue but would LOVE to know. Teddi has had so much fear and anxiety since she went to have her surgery 3 years ago. She shakes and pants every single time she gets in the car (and we go in the car ALL the time - several times a week). I've gotten used to it. She will not calm down and will not take a treat because she is so worked up. She thinks she is going to the hospital. And this does not last a few minutes. She can pant for an hour straight. She is also scared of all noises - this is a direct result of being in a hospital and having lots of noises around and her not knowing what was going to happen. If I drop a spoon in the kitchen she literally FLIES across the room. She is petrified of every little noise - but I know this so I try to be very cautious of this. Of course I would LOVE to have her cured from this but I feel like it has now been 3 years and that it is not going to end. I even tried her on doggie prozac from the vet but didn't notice any change and he said that it doesn't work for all dogs. I would love any advice too!
