| Yesterday we had 3 thunder storms, 12 noon, 5PM and 9PM, Cody has always just bark when he heard thunder, all I would say is "it's ok" and he would stop barking, I would tell him good boy, then he would come and sit by me. Yesterday forget it, 12 noon we were outside, he heard it in the distance and cocked his head, I said the usual to him and he laid back down, the next thunder was closer and in the doggie hatch he ran. I came in to see where he went, and there he was, under the end table hiding. This is not my boy, he was never scared of thunder but didn't like it just as he doesn't the nail guns. I didn't want to make a big fuss and encourage him out from under the table, that would cause him to think there was danger so I left him there. Cody must always be near me, touching me, have me in his sight, so I went back outside hoping he would come also, then it started to rain and in I came. Same reaction at 5 and again at 9, under the end table he went. This is not the same boy that I had before that hour plus of non stop neighbors setting off those bombs. I hope he can recover this fear of now thunder, I guess time will tell.

I'm with you, no true doglover enjoys fireworks much once they know how scary they are to our four-legged friends.

I would prefer not to give anti anxiety meds just as I wouldn't give him car sickness pills, I try to find solutions. Other then this new fear of boomers he is his little crazy boy self. If his fear of thunder continues and he hides under things I'll speak to the vet. This month he gets his rabies and Lyme vaccines I don't want to add anything else to his little body. Thanks for the tip Taylor

The vet said Tibbe tends to seasonal allergic drippiness so she's suggested Children's Benadryl for that and it helps his eyes tear less, dries up his nose but I give it sparingly & worry until it wears off. Just the idea of drugging a dog into even a mildly stuporous state scares me to death. But the vet said it's kinder to mildly sedate than have a dog in a state of fear.

As you know, I was even to the point of considering ordering the same kind of CBD oil you used to help Callie, though I was really scared and had yet to get the vet's input on it. Thankfully, though, about that time I asked the vet to take him off Rimadyl once the trial period was up as he'd changed so while on it. She rx'ed Galliprant and Tibbe reacted dramatically. He stopped sleeping all the time, losing his footing. Up came his tail, which he'd been carrying clamped to his little body since his left shoulder sx. began late February, and all through the 3 months on Rimadyl. And his eyes stopped being squinty, got round open again, like the younger Tibbe. He's stopped acting feeble, gets around just about as he did before February and he's happy, feisty again, stopped favoring his left foreleg. I thought he was getting more than a little senile but thankfully, it must have ben the Rimadyl side effects and/or the unrelieved arthritis pain that apparently really did a number on him while not helping his arthritis pain much at all. He was getting pretty stressed. On 3 Galliprant the first 2 days, he was practically back to his old terrier self! I'd lost that dog while he was taking Rimadyl. Anyway, if a dog is extremely anxious, panicking and unresponsive to distraction, play, behavior modification techniques or anything else, anxiety medication or even some mild sedation is preferable to that dog suffering while you work to try to find out, if you can, what's causing the anxiety and making changes. Humans pop pills, smoke weed, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes & do all kinds of other things to help or distract us from stress so why should we leave our dogs to suffer real anxiety w/little to no help? I'm all for keeping my dog as comfortable, happy as possible even if it takes some medication, scared as I am when Tibbe's on it. And if one Rx makes the dog act weird, super-sedated or sleepy, ask the vet for a possible change, it might make all the difference.
