I have a minpin/manchester terrier mix named Cynthia who has suddenly, in the last few days, become fearful and agitated. The first day she wa even trembling. She seems a little better now, but is still acting weird.
When I get home from work, she follows me everywhere. When I sit at the computer she lays down by my feet. She looks around like there is something after her. She is not eating her morning biscuit treat, although she is eating at other times.
One night she woke me up practically climbing on my head in fear. I let her lay across my body and put an arm around her and she was able to sleep.
I took her to the vet on Tuesday, he didn't detect anything physically wrong with her. No painful teeth, no ear infection. It's like something scared the crap out of her!
The vet gave me a Xanax to give her the morning I brought her in, and that seemed to help. But she is still acting fearful and strange. The vet says if this continues we may put her on Xanax for a while to get her throught this fearful period.
She is a dog I rescued as an adult, she was probably about a year old when I got her, probably as old as eight or nine, now. She's never been very fearful of anything before.
Anyone had something like this happen with a dog?
