I've also used Anxitane in the past which is from your vet but it really didn't help all that much so we stopped using it. When my vet suggested trying it he said that it's either very helpful or doesn't help at all. For Bogey I had much better results with the Thundershirt and Benadryl as needed. Maybe you could ask the vet about the Anxitane and get his opinion. It dos take a while for it to begin working and is not an immediate fix to the issues. If I recall I had to use it for several weeks and since I was hoping that it would help used it for about 6 months before discontinuing use.

I forgot...Welcome to YorkieTalk  |
Never thought of putting on Pepper's ThunderShirt well before the storms start! Maybe that's why it doesn't work better than it does! How much Benadryl do you give your Yorkie, and how much does he weigh? I'd like to try that!
