    Tillie’s Fear 1 reply

    Tillie, my wonderful Corgi, is petrified of loud noises. She is a rescue dog so I have no clue what happened to her early in her life to make her so afraid. When there are loud noises like thunder, firecrackers, gunshots, etc. she shakes uncontrollably, hides in the corner and pants loudly.

    I think it might bother me more than her! I took her to the vet last year before July 4 and he prescribed Valium for her. He said to make sure that she started taking it early in the day or it wouldn’t work. So - on the morning of July 4 I gave her one pill. What I didn’t think about was that she had not eaten yet so she had Valium on an empty stomach! Yes - you guessed it. She started staggering. At that point I thought about taking a Valium myself!

    Right then I said ‘No more Valium for her’. But then we had a thunderstorm - a really big one. More shaking and panting and hiding. I read about Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy. It is for humans but many people use it for their pets. Since I would do almost anything to help Tillie not be afraid, I ordered some. We just had our second thunderstorm since she started taking it and she is fine. She isn’t happy about the thunder but she is not shaking, panting or hiding.

    I highly recommend it. You can check it out at drugstore.com. No - I am not an affiliate and I don’t make a penny from this. It’s just a great product that has helped Tillie a lot and I want you to know about it.

    Should I make a disclaimer about your results might not be the same as Tillie’s? I don’t think so - I believe you know that already.
