Thunderstorms?

[pomtzu]

I do have PHENOS here so I gave him half of one, carried him to the living room where I was reading, set him down on the floor and he just watched me, didn't try to struggle out of the towel. My dog was sitting beside me, she doesn't care if the sky falls on us so he might have taken a cue from her, who knows--- but I just started reading and would check him now and again, he was always peaceful and the one time I looked up he had fallen asleep.

He probably just passed out!


Seriously tho, I've never heard of such drastic behavior from a dog during a storm. My RB Sparky developed a fear of them when he got older, but as long as I held him or if he cuddled up next to me, then he was okay. I certainly hope that you can find a solution to this problem!

Ha ha...very funny POM..passed out on half of .5 mg...don't count on it I only gave it to him because I was sure of the dosage. But he gets pretty drastic during storms, this is the dog she found abandoned on the side of the road nearly 7 yrs ago, he had been badly abused. He has so many health problems it's not funny. For the hundreds she's spent on him and still is she could have gotten a registered purebred...the only problem is she won't buy one of those because they don't have trouble finding a home...she's a real bleeding heart when it comes to abused and abandoned strays.

We had a foster pug that was terrified of storms, he would bark whine and howl until the storm had quit. He would also jump and try to catch the lightning if there was a window he could see out. We tried various things and nothing worked perfectly. We did on occasion give him zoloft which would only work if it was given about 45 min to an hour before the storm began....

Two of my 4 dogs are afraid of storms and firecrackers. The thunder shirts did not work for us. Our dogs can sense when a storm is coming so we get ready for it before they get out of control. We close the curtains. We sit on the sofa with them and watch TV with the volume turned up a little more than usual. They can't see the lightening, they can't hear the thunder as well either. They sit close to us and we pet them running our hand down from the top of their heads all the way down to their tails. It soothes them. We have tried drugs from the vet but decided to not give medications any more. Our vet says he has seen huge dogs practically tear down doors they are so frightened. Hope this helps. Peanut10

Poor dog. I hope you can find something to help but sorry I don't have any suggestions.

My two little ones are not afraid of tstorm but Annie is petrified. She is an outside dog and her doghouse is located in the carport of our house where rain cannot blow in or anything like that . However, she will not stay in her doghouse during a storm. (On regular days she "loves" her doghouse.) When it thunders she takes off to an old building and goes under it. Yes, she has dug out an entrance so she can get under the bldg. Annie was a stray who took up here and I'm sure she had been abused. Also she has always been uneasy about loud noises, such as gunshots or thunder.

At least she has a spot she feels safe, and can retreat there. That's likely better than anything you could try.

My first dog in life, Sheba, was a former stray and the smartest bravest dog in the whole wide world - but hated thunderstorms. She wouldn't get destructive or anything, she just needed to crawl under the covers on my parents' bed, and she'd be fine.

I have never had a dog that was afraid of storms or fireworks. I often wonder though why the storms bother some dogs and not others.
