I have two dogs who have the same problem. Molly (yorkie) and Carly (GSD mix) both just tremble and try to find a hiding place during storms. We use a natural remedy for them when we know that storms are coming. It doesn't put them out, but really relaxes them. We've tried the desensitizing route for storms and it didn't work with either of them.

The big problem we had this summer was the National Ballon Classic. It's a week-long celebration and race for hot air balloonists. They fly right over our house and Molly goes ballistic running about barking until she coughs or throws up. We talked to the vet after natural remedies didn't work. He finally gave us a prescription sedative. Every nice day when we knew the balloons would fly, Molly had to be sedated twice a day so that she wouldn't make herself sick. I felt bad about doing it, but I was so worried about her giving herself a heart attack I elected to take this route.

I hope Skylee finds a new home.
