Pixie has been acting strange for close to 2 weeks now. She started not wanting to be confined to the back end of the house. I use a little gate to keep them all in the back where we are. If we go to the front of the house they go with. If we are gone they stay in the back. I have never had a problem. Pixie started 2 weeks ago getting scared of the thunder storms for the first time ever. Then last week she kept acting like she needed to go out to pee but wouldn't go out. I took her to my vet and they did a urinalysis and said she may have the start of a UTI. They put her on an antibiotic. That was Friday. Now she goes crazy if she can't lay on the other side of the gate. Today she started barking and crying even though she was on the other side of the fence. I let her outside 4 times in an hour and she wouldn't settle down. I called my vet near closing time and they said take her to the ER to check for bladder stones. 3 hours, an ultrasound and xrays later they can find nothing wrong with her. They gave me Tramadol for pain but no one knows what pain she is in. I am so frustrated at not being able to find out what is bothering her. I bought a Thundershirt today and put it on and she settled down for 2 minutes and then was back to acting strange. Please keep Pixie in your prayers to get over what ever it is that is causing her to act like this. Thanks
