Pixie has a HUGE problem with rain and storms but it actually just they thunder that scares her. We have to make sure we knowthe weather everyday because if it is going to storm she has to be given her perscribed sedatives. If she does not take them she goes CRAZYYYYYYYYYY. SHe barks and growls and jumps on us. She also digs and has accidents inside do to stress and all. She also drools ALOT during these episodes and has soaked my blanket and pillow before. Its sad we have to medicate her because she does just sort of shut down and its just hard to see because she is usually so active. But the vet said she could cause harm to us or herself someday if she is'nt sedated.
I have heard of dogs being afraid of storms but not to this extent. Do any of you have a dog with the same problem or know a dog with the same problem? If there any other way I could help her through this was out the medication?
Also with out the sedatives during storms she will pace and pace pace and will NOT lay or sit down I mean she is in sheer panic.
