Consider this a desperate cry for help. For the last month or so, our 6 year old beagle/collie mix has been keeping us up at night, and frustrated. She gets these "panick attacks" about every 2 days. She paces, ears pinned back, trembling, panting. The worst one seem to happen in the dead of night, and last a LONG time. At first, we thought it was because of strong winds, but she's had these attacks when there's not a breath of wind outside. We are at our wit's end with this. We can't figure out what's freaking her out so much.
At night, we've tried putting cotton balls in her ears, covering her head to toe under the sheets, putting music on low, ignoring her, nothing seems to work. And she insits on sticking her face in yours and panting to get your attention.
During the day, we've tried music, stuffed kongs, obedience training, clicker/target work, and she still freaks.
WHAT is going on here?!?!?
