#1 tip, pay attention to unexplained changes in behavior that may indicate she's having problems and don't hesitate to vet her if it continues. In other words, if she's isolating herself during loud fire works, you know what's causing that behavior but if she does it other times w/out explanation or any other unexplained changes in how she normally acts, suspect there could be a problem and without words, she has no other way to 'tell' you things are not right with her.
