Story
We adopted Holly when she was 8 weeks old. She is now 5 yrs. And 9 months. Holly currently has issues with anxiety stemming from outside influences such as storms, just rain, fireworks, odd noises, loud noises, etc…The level of anxiety ranges depending upon what she is actually hearing. At the “bad” end of the spectrum she pant heavily and climb up on anything she can, including us. She can be destructive and hurtful at these times and we have resorted to placing her in a reinforced crate in our bedroom. She takes fluoxetine daily and other prescribed medications when we know an event is coming.Holly wasn’t always like this. Early on she seemed normal, would go on walks and play with other dogs. There must have been something that started all this but we don’t know what. Her anxiety has gotten to the point that nothing works and it’s almost daily know. She now starts to “wig out” for no reason that we tell her. This is a sad time for my wife and I. We’re retired and now at our wits end
