Hi
I am out of my depth here and so is my vet so you guy's are my only hope.
Last friday I was out walking my dog when a hot air ballon came over head, it was quite low about the height of a 2 storey house thats all, when my dog saw it she freaked out, started panicking, she even made her feet bleed she was that bad, she took a layer off the nail so when I looked at them her nail was like a graze you get on your knee, if that makes sense.
I cant get her out of the house now to walk or even to go into the back yard to potty no matter how much I try and coax her out with treats, she runs out potties and then runs back and thats after about 30 minutes all the time she is looking up. Even in the house she wont stay in any room that has a ceiling fan even if it isnt switched on, she hides under the table or in the closet, she wont eat as her dish is in the open. The vet says I should carry on as normal and ignore her, she says that I should tempt her out with treats and praise her, but none of it is working, my vet says she doesnt know what to do as she hasnt come across this before.
Do any of you have any advice for me?
Many Thanks
