Sasha loses it over fireworks...we need help

I think the medication may be the solution since it is not only fireworks, and it is thunderstorms! As luck has it, the weather guy isnt ALWAYS right haha, so you just never know when your going to need to console her! I only know about this from a book I read, Marley and Me!(true story) basically as the dog aged, it seemed to get worse, so medication may be needed, but maybe there might be some kind of other medication given that is only taken when needed, instead of year round! I hope that kinda helps! Good Luck!

My aunts dog has to be medicated for the exact same things. She is much more happier when medicated. Before she was medicated she would litteraly try to tear the house apart trying to escape from the loud noise of storms, and fireworks. It has worked for her!

Just a word of caution - when we started to medicate Star for her anxiety, her personality completely changed, even after we took her off the meds. She used to be outgoing, energetic and playful. Now she's reserved, sluggish, and irritable with other dogs who want to play.

Fenway hates fireworks, thunder and gun shot. He freaks out and shakes, yawns (a sign of being scared) and he curls up next to me and tries to crawl into my skin. It's so sad. But I just turn the t.v. up, turn the a/c on and shut all the windows and wait till it's over. I don't think I would medicate him for the problem just because it doesn't happen everyday.
