My dog had a panic attack today for the first time. She was very anxious when we first got her two years ago and had improved dramatically. But over the last month she's seemed a bit more anxious. There's been increased household stress due to her sister, a 14-15 year old pittbull who is aging and having more problems--maybe that's why. Anyway, wow, what an episode. She's doing a lot better, but not completely back to normal. It will take a while.

Here’s my little first-world pup recovering from yesterday’s panic attack. We are already a pretty calm household—now it’s like a sanctuary in here 😂

We will never know what happened to this dog before she got to us but I do know that she was a trembling, neglected mess when they found her. We got her to a very good, well-adjusted place and hopefully we can get her back there again.

@PermaSolarPotter she's gorgeous. she's in a loving home so i'm sure she'll make a good recovery. heal well little one.
@PermaSolarPotter I, too, have been dealing with a highly anxious pup. Trazodone seems helpful so far, but I hope it needn't be a permanent long-term solution.
