Cami is my sweetie and I need some help. She's a med. size Chihuahua and she has a phobia. I don't know what to do about it. She's terrified of any thing that buzzes. If a fly gets in the house, she goes bonkers, instantly running tail tucked from wherever she is. She shakes all over and if I don't pick her up, she claws at my leg until I do. Usually I know the minute this happens because she will come out of a dead sleep and come to me immediately, stand under my chair tail tucked shaking. It takes hours to calm her and we always have to stop whatever we are doing and track down the buzzer or buzzee
.
and kill it.

But it takes so long for her to calm. She wouldn't let me walk away from her even tho I managed to find this one and let it out the door. I tried taking her in the front of the house and then walking back to the back where I was originally sitting until this particular event today. As long as she was in the front she seemed a little calmer. Then I tried going back to where I was and she ran to our walkin closet and hid in it. Right now, I'm in the front of the house sitting at my computer. I can't hold her because of the broken sacrum and I can't just ignore her either, she scratches my leg so hard wanting up. I finally drug a footstool over, threw a towel on it and deposited her on it. Then I sat with one hand on her until she has gone to sleep covered in the towel.

She's a brave little dog, will challenge anything on 4 feet or 2 feet, but something must have stung her. And now she is terrified if it buzzes.

Anyone have any idea of anything I can give her to calm her when this happens? My vet won't give us anything for her.

Thanks,
Billye

Thanks,
I'd like Mrs. D to see what she thinks of this product. It does sound good, but the recent dogfood scare really un-nerves me with something like this.

Doggie noise phobias are fairly common, I think. I know my dog was really afraid of thunderstorms.

I think it takes a lot of patience and work to get them to not be afraid of whatever the noise is. I looked up a couple of places you might want to read about what to do with noise phobias. Good luck!

Thanks Doodie,
There are some good ideas there. I particularly like the one that offers a "safe place" to go. I appreciate your effort in finding these links.

You're welcome Billye.

LOL, I think we need a 'You're Welcome' button as well as the 'Thanks' button!
