Pixie's afraid of thunder all of a sudden - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I feel so bad that Pixie is scared of thunderstorms now. I do think the thundershirt is worth a try. If it doesn't work, you can send it back for a refund. I've always been so thankful that mine aren't afraid of thunder, and hopefully they won't do what Pixie is doing. Poor baby. You sure have had a lot of storms!

Thanks! Once you get yours and see how the fit is I am going to order one. Also, last night Ken noticed Pixie is limping badly again. She had completely stopped a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if all her pacing from the storms aggravated her bicep tendonitis. I will take her in for a laser treatment if she is still limping by Tuesday. I gave her some metacam to help in the mean time.

Poor Pixie! I hope her limp goes away quickly. You aren't going to believe this, but we had a thunderstorm here...wasn't even that bad. Libby wanted me to hold her...she was so nervous. She didn't shake, but was noticeably shook. So, I stuck her in that sling carrier I have and she was fine. She's stick her head out now and then, and when it thundered, she'd just bury her head inside. So, what's up with that? She's never been scared of them before either!

I just googled Thundershirts and OMG you guys are geniuses this is why I come here. I would have never known. Roxy isn't afraid of thunder but she has major separation anxiety and I am willing to give anything a try to make her more comfortable.
