Pixie has been living in her thunder shirt lately. She became terrified of thunder 2 years ago and it has progressed to the sound of rain, planes and motorcycles. We have had terrible rain here and she has been so bad. The thunder shirt worked pretty good for a couple of years but this year she has been really bad. Some days the thunder shirt works but if we are having days of rain and thunder it doesn't seem to work very well. I finally got Xanax from her vet last week as I couldn't get her to calm down after hours of endless shaking, panting and trying to crawl into me. That didn't even work to well. Pixie is 4.4 lbs and the xxs fits her perfectly. I saw them at Bed, Bath and Beyond today too. I even bought some rain songs on my Iphone and put it in the crate. I wanted to try and desensitize her. She just laid there and wasn't even bothered, yet if it's really raining she's a basket case. She woke me during the night shaking so I turned on the TV to the weather station and sure enough it was raining by us. I couldn't here it but she could. I put her TS on and she calmed down. She woke me at 8:15 this morning shaking and the sun was shining and she had her TS on. I don't know if a plane flew over. She did calm down right away though. I feel so bad for them that they are so terrified. I hope you can find something that works for Bentley. |
