I rescued a 15 year old that obviously had come from a puppy mill and spent the better part of her life in a cage producing pups. She did the same thing for quite a while. She would just walk all around the house, time after time. It took her quite a while to really become comfortable. I would, as suggested, get tests done as you can afford them and just love her as much as you can. If it is psychological, she will eventually calm down. My sweet Rosebud, however, was a very nervous thing til the end. I had her three years and she never was what we consider "normal" but a sweetheart just the same.
Best of luck to you. Please don't give up on her. Stability will make the biggest difference in her life. God bless you for taking her in. |
